Fun of course just not fast,
Actually if you watch Randy drive both at the limit on-track (see the MT site), the BRZ is somewhat more stable and neutral. He makes this quite clear in his post-drive commentary as well. Plus .7 seconds faster around the Willow Springs track.

The same contrast was seen even back in the hoary early days when the Best Motoring track video of the twins came out, there was a 40 page thread about it.

As to Clarkson's views - great entertainer, but I'll take the word of a 4-time World Challenge GT series champion and 2-time Le Mans class winner over Jeremy's when it comes to the subtleties of car handling.
