As for which is faster, I believe that the FR-S will have more front end grip, which we've established as the limiting factor in outright, steady state grip, due to the slightly softer front end settings, relative to the rear. As long as this is true and the handling change is due to added front grip, rather than reduced rear grip, then the FR-S should lap a circuit at exactly .001% faster

Rear-engined Porsches are their own animal. They need to be driven completely differently in order to keep out of the realm of excessive understeer. However, they are set up relatively "safely", with a good helping of understeer in the more pedestrian models, because they are harder to control in an oversteer condition. And before you ask, I've driven a lot of Porsches, from street to full race prep, on the track, so I'm not talking out of my ass.

Yes, I'm quoting myself from another thread here...

FR-S for me. I work for Toyota so I will get it at cost. Not to mention that I prefer the suspension setup and price. While I like the features of the BRZ, they add weight and cost that don't add to the driving experience. This car is about FUN for me.
