But they did. Aluminum knuckles, stiffer bushings and more rear lateral stiffness with the BRZ will help those parts work better. Why i went with the Cusco. Heavier and stiffer. I don't want all that rear movement with the GR86.

With the same alignment, you're still going to get less movement in the rear, more linear breakaway with less lateral and vertical motion. I'll take that even just for piece of mind. Background in shifter karts. First car to really modify as much as I want so all the details are important to me even if they seem trivial to others.

Now really, it's not that bad. Everyone that sees my car up close has nothing but compliments to say about it. It's mainly social media influencers that make a big deal about it. wait till they catch onto the 86 underperformance issues.

(This forum has about the worst smiley choices.) I have no intention of hitting the track, so more playful character and better road trippability is a plus for me. When I heard that the engine tunes for the two cars are different/done by each respective OEM, that really sealed the 86 for me. If I went BRZ I’d be scrambling to get that factory tune off the car ASAP. Even without a turbo, Subaru will find some way to blow it up. I wouldn’t let them tune my lawnmower. |

Totally understand this. Mine will be mostly DD and I'll be sticking with thin and tall wheels/tires. I don't want too much grip. After i saw the throttle maps that validated my choice for me. And having had it a month, the rear end steps out easily. So my reasoning is that I'd rather have the stiffer rear end and more linear throttle map to hold those drift angles more easily even if it's easier to initiate oversteer in the GR86. Also why I'm going with Swift Spec R. Softer in front. Stiffer in the rear.

Ah, yeah, saw that earlier. You’re correct, he does find the BRZ easier to control for drifting due to its stability. The point I was getting at in my initial reply was more about how the makers have setup their vehicles for the style of driving they think their customers will enjoy the most. Even so, when you get right down to it, though, even for tail happy fun a more stable platform is still the best, as that host and some others have noted. BRZ is definitely the better of the two I think for handling in general. Can’t wait until mines arrives.

There's no wrong answer. Just fun arguing lol. Truth is buying a GR86 even just for that awesome logo on the steering wheel is valid. Buying the Subaru because you can't pronounce "Toyota" is valid. They're both dream cars and grateful as an enthusiast they both exist. I also doubt there will be many new cars I'll be interested in the years to come. So when it's time for my next car, might be a GR86 to switch things up lol. Cheers man.
