I think it's a good test of two different auto animals.
The roads they tested on are great for these rides...I'd love to drive them there > would you ?
I was surprised the Mustang did 0-60 in 5.3 sec's & the 1/4 mile in the thirteen's..
Which one would you want drive or own ?
Please Vote above & post your comments > Why ?

I'll take an American built Mustang. I do like em. I used to be a Stang dude till I brought my 1st Camaro

I owned a 64 1/2, a 68 convertible, a 82 and 84 Stang (Not al at the same time)

Wish I had the 68 now


Man that Submarine is cool not like the ones I used to pay in the Navy

I wasn't a fan of the BRZ. I really wanted to love it, it was on my list of cars to buy, but I just didn't like the drive.

Imo the brz. Mustangs are okay, but rwd in snow = bad. Granted the brz is too, it looks better.

I believe the BRZ is AWD, i believe, and i would love to have the AWD. But i would rather have the Mustang, it is American, and the BRZ just does not do it for me, in looks. I heard some bad reviews about it.

BRZ is a light weight RWD car that is supposed to be fun in the corners like a Miata.

I just didn't like how it drove, felt too underpowered for my tastes. Unless you are redlining the car, it felt wrong.

Thanks Member's for your posts/thoughts.

I think the BRZ or FR-S Scion are great 'if you like to stay in the high rev Zone to get the power band needed. I think the vid was good & they made some good points...The Mustang & BRZ are 2 different kind of animals 4>Sure...

I think 'if I lived in a State like Chibi 'Mike or N.Y. State where you had the super roads like those like going to High Point the BRZ would be great, but I don't think it would be fun just driving it on a open interstate of highway without great corners/curses & incline/declines...

I like the BRZ & FR-S's, but they don't have the power or torque of a Camaro V6 or a Mustang V6...I was surprised to see that the Mustang V6 did a 0-60 time in 5.3 seconds

I'll just keep dreaming of that 'sub above(LOL) & cool 'rides...
