I think the BRZ looks the best out of the 3 , mainly thanks to the Subaru's blue paint job and my heavily biast support for Sunaru ;)
 
I like the FR-S. Doesn't understeer like BR-Z and has a better interior

I've only driven the BRZ thus far. I'm using some basic settings from a FR-S tune. The BRZ has 5 points less for ride height so I had to set it as close as possible. Anyway , I actually found the BRZ to handle really well after upgrading the parts and adjusting the body weight. Really reminded me of my old e30 BMW Alpina because of the handeling.

I was doing a drag race with my friend the other day. The BR-Z is slightly lower than the latter
 
I've only tried them stock. F-S and 86 are quicker. BR-Z handles better. Each to their own though.

Go back to learning :)
 
I think the BRZ is slightly lower than the others to start off with , which could explane the difference in handling.

With the drag race result it could be a difference in gear ratios that was the cause of your loss. In the reviews of the BRZ in real life , it got a lot of critisim for it's semi auto gear box , which was heavier than the standard manual and it was sapping a fair amount of power from the already weak and feable ( 170 bhp I think ) engine. I can't wait to see the full blown STi version they are making for next year. The concept BRZ was done orginally in an STi guise. It looked the munks nuts!
