Yep, all the way down and pushed back but he's really picky about how he fits in cars. If one thing is off a tiny bit he hates it.

He's pretty much the same size minues the extreme jackedness.
 
You're gonna have to post a pic with GTP written on his head.

Haven't been in this thread in a while. But this makes me think of Best Motoring and their Tsukuba battles! :D If only they were still around... :(
 
Quick note about one of the Cusco parts above. The rear lateral links are the same as an 08+ STi. Part numbers match.
 
The 86 looked more of a handful though in the corners.

STI calipers/brembos from the STI also fit on the BRZ. The mounting holes line up and all that. Few other parts should also be interchangeable, which is no surprise.
 
Do the wheels clear?

Also, not sure if this was posted but the Scion starts at $25k. Is that more than the Suby? Also, they have that Pure Price thing. They say there's no haggling. Is this really the case? This is South Florida and you're telling me I can't get my keemutz on?

No, scion is cheaper by about $1300 or so. The wheels will not clear the brembos.
Yes, pure pricing means you pay msrp. Not sure why scion makes such a huge deal out it and makes it sound like it's good for the consumer. Well, with the FRS it might be since they're fearing markups.
 
Isn't the Scion business model against dealer mark ups?

Which has been noted before that the FR-S comes on softer springs with more aggressive shocks, and vice-versa for the BRZ. I think every review has said the FR-S is tends to oversteer more than the Subie.
 
I would not equate oversteer with "loosing grip too abruptly". The video seems to be an example of the latter.

Exactly. Which is why I said it will be good for the consumer in the case of the FRS.
 
FRS looked funner and even seemed like it a faster lap. Hmm, would love to know what the actual lap time differences are between these cars!
 
Omnis
Pretty sure that's not a statistically significant difference.

Pretty sure that's another example showing that the right amount of oversteer is faster. He got a bit sideways a time or two, but besides that the 86's four tires work better as a team than the BRZ's. This is what we all expected to see based on official statements about the cars' suspension tuning and handling balance differences.

I'm disappointed to see that strut braces are hinged. Eww. That'd take me some modifcation or a wait for Carbing's parts.
 
I'd get the Scion just because it looks better. No cheesy Toyota LED headlights. :)
 
Oh, you know you'll just put some Jay's running lights on it instead. :lol:

Yeah I don't like those either. Not quite as effective as a solid bar.
 
NEWS -> Edmunds pitted the FR-S against the AE86:
