Besides the BRZ being newer, I think the k20s were considered fast because they were in a practical FWD car. RWD cars are expected to be more sporty and therefore have more power, unless you're super light like the miata.It’s the torque and the area under the power curve. They run very similar numbers in the 1/4 mile.
The BRZ feels much slower like the K20/K24 engines because those engines needed to rev in order to produce decent power.
Many reviewers consider the BRZ slow, but it’s power curve and numbers matches that of a K20, which was praised as being “fast”. I wonder why people don’t consider the 8th/9th gen Si slow but the BRZ slow?
