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.
Very good point about the track package. The V6 I drove didn't have the package, and I was mistakenly thinking the only difference was suspension and wheels/tires. I should certainly seek out the V6+track package before making the final decision. It will be an easy one though, if the Toyobaru wows.
