Not sure why anyone is surprised that a 200hp car comes in last in a drag race with the next lowest horsepower car being TWICE the power. 
I'd also note that the BRZ destroys the competition in price, which means that of the cars on the list, it's the one that most of the driving population actually has a chance at driving/owning.
Not too shaby to have what it takes to still land on the driver's best list.

Lol. Noooooo. Sorry bro, I wasn't talking about your comment. I quoted you because what you said was truth... And made sense. "all the hate" referred to the OP and his "greatest race ever, the brz came in dead last".
It was you and RIWWP that I AGREE with. Lol

I've been saying GT-R is a good car for a long time.
I'm really just gonna wait for a few more years than I'm gonna grab one to play around with.
and why is anyone "surprised" that BRZ finished last? it's not even the same level and it's just there for "show", and really, it's not that bad for a car with only 200 hp.

No... They did it for ***** and giggles.
Motortrend does an installment of "Best Driver's Car" every year. A huge installment with on road and track testing of many different cars regardless of price and power. It is based purely on driving dynamics. In 2009, the R3 came third behind the R8 and M3.
Enjoy...

Emotional nancy? Moi? Nah. Lol. I couldn't, in reality, care any less what the OP thinks about the BRZ.
I just find it amusing that so much pleasure is taken at the loss in the video. Irony being if one of our precious 8's had been subbed in for the BRZ the video would've looked exactly the same. So reveling in a loss that was predestined seems a tad juvenile and being a public forum I'm always happy to point that out.
I've had somewhere around 35ish sports cars in the last 30 years since I got my license to drive, everything from a Dodge Omni GLH (props to whoever knows what that is without googling it) to my current GT500. I enjoy many different cars for what each can offer to the driving experience and you'll never hear me uttering any stupidity that relates back to brand loyalty or fanboy nonsense.
Regards.
PS - I'll stop the TiVo while ff'ing to watch those commercials. Some of the best comedy written for network TV these days.

If a Prius had made the driver's car cut, they would have also included it in the drag race.

Great Car but it would often stay running after you pulled the key from the ignition
