Motor Trend First Drive Review: 2013 Subaru BRZ - Page 4 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

If you look carefully those 86 are pretty much FRS, they don't have the GT86 lights and they have the smaller wheels, only diff is that they are RHD. Basically this is there base and that's the FRS we're getting with our own ... Unique interior XD

wait so im going to assume now that vented is not the same as slotted and or drilled? whats vented exactly then?

You guys are getting worked up over a typo. Obviously it doesn't come with 15/16" brake rotors. That's why I posted the LINK and said I corrected Motor Trend's typo.

Not sure who added to my original post, but they quoted the older/incorrect version of the article.

Cheers,
Hong
