I know you've said white makes it look like a rental car: and on a Chevy malibo I agree with you: but on a small sports car I've always liked white. it doesn't say "cheap" to me. It says "no nonsense," and it fits on what I think of as a very no nonsense sports car.

I do. handling at the limit is what Sports cars are all about.
It is virtually impossible to drive any car at or near the limit on public roads.  Besides, I would rather have the neutral car and not the one that tries to bite your head off in mid corner.

Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?

It's really stupid. I never approach track driving cornering, even when I'm driving hard.

Clearly, you don't do this every day on your commute to and from work.

That's not to say its impossible to find a time and place where it can be done.

It's definitely not hard to reach the limits (even on public roads) of cars like the Miata and it sounds like the BRZ as well, especially since the BRZ and FRS have those super skinny tires supposedly. I've gotten the tail out in my car a couple of times. With the stiff suspension and shitty OEM tires, it's not hard to do at all. :huh:

That said, I love the oversteer in my car and wouldn't mind having the FRS for that reason. :mask:

I got the tail out on an NB on a test drive. Scared the piss out of the salesman (and me, I didn't expect that to happen so easily).

For the record, I was arguing with the statement "its virtually impossible to drive at or NEAR the cars limits on public roads."

The pics look like you're slightly over the limits of that particular car at the moment.

I voted blue, but go with white.  White looks sexual on that car.

SWP also holds dirt really well, and in the sun the white is so pure looking its awesome.

Galaxy blue. Love that color. Kinda like BMW's monaco blue, but not quite as deep of a blue (at least to my eyes).
"On a given day, a given circumstance, you think you have a limit. And you then go for this limit and you touch this limit, and you think, 'Okay, this is the limit'. And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high." - Ayrton Senna

Looked at one for awhile yesterday in that color.  I think that's out of the running.  Purplish in some lighting conditions.

Le Mans Blue from BMW is probably my favorite shade.  Daytona Blue on the 350Z's is up there too.

White.  WR Blue is so cliche.

MrH

Cliche for performance Subarus...which is very far from being cliche when you look at all the cars on the road :lol:

Yeah, but WR Blue Subarus are a dime a dozen.  Ferraris are pretty rare.

It looks great in black, as well as the dark grey. Both blues are sharp too.

You're my age.  We're getting old.  Plus, now that you're married, your life expectancy has gone way down, since you're more likely to be poisoned by your wife.
