3500rpm vs. 3500rpm doesn't make any physical sense, as the cars are going at different speeds at that rpm.

But anyway, here it is:
At 3500rpm the FR-S/BRZ is making ~135 "rear-wheel" lb-ft.
At 3500rpm the AP1 S2000 is making ~125 "rear-wheel" lb-ft.

FR-S/BRZ actual torque at rear wheels at 3500rpm in 3rd gear = 135 lb-ft*1.541*4.1 = 853 lb-ft
S2000 actual torque at rear wheels at 3500rpm in 3rd gear = 125 lb-ft*1.718*4.1 = 880 lb-ft

880 > 853
