2013 Subaru Brz Limited Supercharged on 2040-cars
Corpus Christi, Texas, United States
|
I purchased this car a few months ago with the intention of
using it as my daily driver as I needed something that was good on gas, but
wanted something that was also fun to drive. I was really interested in the BRZ
as they have gotten rave reviews other than the fact that many had wished for a
bit more power. In coming across this build, I noticed it had everything I
would have ever wanted to do to a BRZ and plenty of “then some”. The car does
not disappoint as it handles phenomenally and has what feels to be an unlimited
power band. The car has been built right with everything flowing together, not
overdone or cheesy, but a purposeful, quality build that retains everything
that you love about the BRZ and takes it one step further. OK, a few steps
further. So, why now am I wanting to sell it? I took a leap of faith
buying this thinking I could transition from my 2010 Tundra Crewmax 4X4 to
something that was a purposeful built, fuel efficient, sports car. Frankly, I
was wrong. There is plenty to love about this car, but it is just not me. The car was just inspected and serviced with care paid to
the few minor details needing attention (alignment, tire balancing, and leaking
brake line) and while at the speed shop, I had the suspension adjusted for
optimization. There are no issues with the car as I and the previous owner have
been meticulous in its care. The car has ~20k miles on it. I and the previous owner are
adult drivers who have never abused the car and have maintained her well. The
BRZ is regularly serviced with Motul products and inspected regularly. The
purchase price of the car new was $32.5K (not including taxes) with over $22K
of premium parts and clean/quality upgrades invested into the car. It's truly
done right and all-around perfect. The Limited Trim includes navigation, push button start,
alcantara/leather heated seats, dual automated climate control w/digital read
outs, and a Homelink adaptive rear view mirror.

Toyota GT86 engineer Tada recounts how sports car came to be
Wed, 13 Feb 2013Because the Toyota GT86, Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ coupes are now a reality, it's almost hard to imagine the struggle that had to happen within the large, conservative corporate structures at both automakers for the joint project to even get off of the ground.
Speaking to those struggles on Toyota UK's Toyota Blog, GT86 Chief Engineer Tetsuya Tada enlightens us with a recap of the sports car's earliest origins. For Tada, the first stages of the project must have seemed almost as dreamlike as the final product is to drive.
Said the Chief, "I had been working in the minivan department engineering new product, but a month after the meeting I was summoned. 'Forget about minivans,' they said, 'you are now working on the sports-car project.'"
Which is quicker in the standing mile, a Subaru WRX STI or a Porsche Cayman?
Thu, 26 Jun 2014The 2015 Subaru WRX STI and 2014 Porsche Cayman are both saddled with unfair reputations. The STI with its huge wing and gold wheels has the title of the ultimate boy-racer. On the other hand, Porsche brand snobs look down on he base Cayman as just a wannabe 911. In reality, they are both pretty fantastic performance cars. But what would happen if the two of them lined up at a stoplight, and maybe the guy in the suit in the Cayman started throwing some revs at the young man in the STI? Automobile decided to find out in a recent video pitting the two stereotyped hot rods against each other in a standing-mile drag race.
In terms of raw numbers, they are surprisingly close. Both use flat engines and six-speed manual transmissions here, but the Subaru has more power and torque. However, the Porsche makes up for it with 300 pounds less weight. Neither should have a problem with traction either thanks to the STI's sophisticated all-wheel-drive setup, and the Cayman's mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout.
The comparable specs certainly show themselves in the real world for the race. We're not going to give away the winner here because it's too exciting, but let's just say the finish is very, very close. Scroll down to watch both of them shrug off their stereotypes and show off their real performance.
Subaru to stop building Camry for Toyota in the US
Fri, 09 May 2014It was back in 2007 that Subaru of Indiana Automotive, under contract from Subaru minority shareholder Toyota, built the first Toyota Camry at its plant in Lafayette, Indiana. Rumblings of the end of that contract work have been around for a while, as Subaru talked of expanding capacity to build more units and add a line for the Impreza, and Toyota talked of moving Camry production to its Georgetown, KY plant. The news was official internally last November when SIA Executive Vice President Tom Easterday told the Louisville Courier-Journal that Camry production would end. Now, Automotive News reports that both automakers have admitted publicly that the end will come in 2016.
SIA currently has a 170,000-unit capacity devoted to the home-brand Legacy and Outback models, while a $400-million expansion increases that to 300,000 units to prepare the facility for Impreza production in two years. Freeing up the 100,000 units of production devoted to the Camry means a 400,000-unit capability, which is far more than Subaru needs at the moment, but the Toyota exit will allow it to expand any way it sees fit. Subaru has said it will absorb the workers on the Camry line and no jobs will be lost, the mayor of Lafayette saying the development could change the timetable for the expansion.
