I just want all the horsepowers in my Miata. All the powers. Or, I’ll take a cute picture of Emma Watson. That’ll work too. ---

Everyone in the world has either stated that this car needs more power, or tried to defend not having enough power. The truth is that for 26k it needs more power. > [@XwalkerX](#): > > i know its slightly more expensive but why not get a 370z over a brz? > > looks like starting price is 29.9k > > and yeah its 400lbs heavier but its also a bump of 130hp 500-700 lbs depending on options. The lightest factory BRZ is around 2750. ---

I’d rather have a 370z but I’d still feel slightly gay, but then again I like fbodys so I’m already a little gay. ---

for me, as a higher mileage daily driver this was a large concern. I did consider a higher trim used one though, it was still a lot more expensive ![http://www.nyspeed.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=34307&stc=1](http://www.nyspeed.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=34307&stc=1) ![http://www.nyspeed.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=34308&stc=1](http://www.nyspeed.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=34308&stc=1) ---
