Hi guys, great to finally have independent testing.
I did a few comparative charts of the most similarly engined car I can get, which is the Renaultsport Clio RS 200cv.
The weight is pretty much the same, 1210 kg, engine size is 2000 cc, power is 200 hp.

These are the charts from our in house MAHA dyno. It's a brake dyno and well know for its precision. In the full charts you have all the info:
Norm-Leistung is flywheel power corrected
Morotleistung is the flywheel power
Radleistung is WHP
Schleppeistung is power loss
Drehmoment is flywheel torque.

Stock clio:

Full exhaust clio:

I couldn't compare the torque so i just used the WHP, which is pretty much the same for the BRZ, 164 whp.

Stock BRZ vs Stock Clio

Stock BRZ vs Full exhaust Clio

This will also give you some idea of the tunability of a 2.0 l engine, but the 86 engine may be better as it's newer, it has direct injection and maybe they had kept it more restrained.

In the end this car as stock will go as a Clio RS midly tuned, it's no bad thing but it certainly slower than most fo the same price range car. A Golf GTI will leave it in the dust on the straights.

I drove the Clio quite a few times and I can tell you in the slow tracks power is enough, but try it in Monza or any fast track and you will miss the power, especially if you have turbo or bigger engine cars around.
The Clio also have a very esploitable chassis and Brembo brakes as stock, so you can make the difference in the corners and braking zones, especially if you fit some semislick, we still have to see how the BRZ/86 works with sticky tyres in this area.
