Figured mine out. If you go by wheel hp I’m at 7.5 lbs. A stock X would be roughly 14.57 lbs per hp if you go by whp again. Not too shabby

I was at 8.9 according to whp and actual weight. 5.0 sounds better though!

I’m also assuming this is flywheel If so I’m around 3.4 might be able to get the viper into the high 2.8 range.

it’s obviously too underpowered to make the list, but you know that.

It moves okay. Once you accept that it is merely a reincarnation of an e30 BMW 3 series in modern times, it’s fun.

Did you keep the evo x?

Do you see yourself being content with one long term? I’m totally on the fence with these.

I’d love to see what the actual weight and hp would be listed next to each of those listed.

Evo X is long gone. You’re welcome to tool around in my BRZ when I get it from the dealer next friday.

I sincerely appreciate it man, but i’m out here in CA for work.

There are used ones popping up everywhere… so I could certainly drive on soon if I wanted. I fit (6’4"), I like the BRZ interior with NAV, and it seems like a great all around car.

We’ll see.

bahh @XwalkerX , get outta here with that ish.

Realistically, my current car is going to turn into a money pit soon. Once I get closer to 90k i’m going to move on from it, so in 8-10 months I am going to get real serious. One problem, however… my head is all over the fucking place. lol
