They still say in that article that they are using all of these BMW parts even though they haven't communicated since the baseline - the two cars certainly don't look alike, but you can tell the parts are BMW. |

At 1:32:30 Matt straight up says the new 86 is quick, dope, etc. He said he would rather drive a new 86 over the s2000 any day of the week.
He also said he is getting a new BRZ to road test at the end of September.

So it's confirmed, they did lower the CG 4mm (for JDM only?). I tot I saw wrongly in the (earlier) dodgy translations. Strange that the you tuber reviews in the North America drive days put the CG lowering (or 86 or BRZ I can't rem) at 1.5mm thereabouts only.
Wonder whats the difference. To achieve 4mm vs 1.5mm lower is a big difference. |

Quick prediction that iron vs aluminum steering knuckle will compete for "which oil" topic for most argumentative threads. :-)

Was surprised by his enthusiasm after the Monticello track day, fan of his podcast and Matt usually likes more power than you’d find in a Twin. |
