And with the announced pricing, the '12 GT is officially (slightly) cheaper (on truecar) than the BRZ. Want...to...test...drive!

Just to note, unless you get a Mustang V6 with the track package (I believe that's what it is called) you're going to have bad time. You really need the 3.31 gears if you want it too feel peppy. W/o the package I believe they just have 2.73s, which is a highway gear to get better mileage.
In all honesty, if you can get a brand new Mustang GT with 412hp and that will out corner the BR-Z and FR-S all day long, you should get that. The 5.0 is very impressive, and pulls just shy of a G on the skidpad. That, along with a 0-60 of under 5 secs, a quarter mile of 12.XX, and a whole list of other things it seems that this would be the better buy.
