85K... The 911 also starts at 85K, but I think it's pretty impossible to find one under a 100k and it's less powerful...
85k is not bad at all for that beast...damn this might be my future whip in a few years

Who's that nt'er that drives the 3000gt/vr4?
Saw one on Craigslist and looked up the stats
Only stock import I'd drive .
What cylinders?
On the topic of wankels and displacement.... Advertised displacement on wankels is very misleading.
Take the 13b for example.... The claimed 1.3 liters is little more than marketing ********, mainly to lower insurance prices therefore selling more cars and to a lesser extent, make an excuse for the lack of torque rotaries make. It's not an adequate comparison to a piston engines displacement.
A rotary take a chamber (cylinder) charge every revolution of the eccentric (crank) shaft per rotor. In a 2 rotor 13b engine, that means 654cc x2 = 1.3 liters per revolution.
A 4 stoke piston engine however, only takes a cylinder charge every second revolution. So if we want to compare a rotary to a piston engine, we need count the displacement over 2 revolutions. Meaning the 13b rotary is equal to 2.6 liters piston engine
If you want to look at the 13b rotary's real capacity, you need to measure the volume of all chambers doing one cycle (the same way we measure a piston engine's displacement). This is also referred to as swept volume. That gives us a volume of 3.9 liters
Cliffs:
3.9 liters is the true volume of a "1.3 liter" wankel if we were to judge the rotary by the same rules as piston engines.
But it's not a piston engine.
What happened to no the "no replacement for" statement? So now we're actually getting more into depth, and determining that isn't the deciding factor on a better performing engine?
"No replacement for displacement" is the equivalent of saying the acceleration of gravity= 9.8 m/s^2. Or saying 2>1
You're trying to argue laws of physics. Greater displacement, more potential for power? Well, no ****
what ?
I'm not trying to argue anything. My statements on wankels weren't directed at anyone or intended to disprove anything. I'm just trying to drop some knowledge and generate some discussion.
I figured you were on team "no replacement for displacement".
My bad lol
I'm arguing the foolish "no replacement for displacement" as an end all, be all statement.
It's such a general and obvious statement that It sounds incredibly stupid, when inputting it in an argument.
A story from the Houston Chronicle tells of a 2015 Subaru BRZ buyer who wanted more from his sport coupe. According to HC, a University of Texas Dallas student bought his first new car, a Subaru BRZ for his 21st birthday. The rear-wheel-drive coupe in stock trim comes with a 200hp 2.0-liter Subaru boxer engine and provides plenty of fun for driving enthusiasts.
Brian Jun had even more money to spend and the 21 year-old college student drove to Manassas, Virginia to have PTuning, a performance and auto service center, install one of their turbocharging kits on his new Subaru BRZ. Jun says “the BRZ's power at the wheels has nearly doubled.” Jun wasn’t finished yet and added even more performance goodies.
He must really like that BRZ over a lot of other cars
21 year-old spends 30k on aftermarket upgrades for new 2015 BRZ:

Thanks, googled it and your right.Looks like ze40's
Could get the new GT350 Stang.coulda had a v8
Thanks! I bought it October 2013 for $24k out the door. Financed $14k with 0.9% so I'm paying about $296 for 4 years.Congrats fam. I always liked the Legacy, very sharp looking car.
What kinda deal did they give you since the new model is out?
My friend pretty much did the same thing he bought a s14 240sx with a sr20 for 13k and then 2 years later rips it apart and puts in a built ls1 in it. He put in about 25k+ in the car within 2 years.lol dude couldve just made payments for a 56k car thats wayyyy better instead of a dam brz the hell is he thinking

I would of just bought a corvette instead
people like what they like
So much brz hate :\
