I'm not denying that the 86 seems to get better lap times when taken around by a professional driver but nobody here is a professional driver so it won't make a difference. These comparisons between the 86 and BRZ need to stop, they are the same car. You say that the keyboard racing is absurd, an then in the same paragraph you say, well clearly from these videos the 86 is faster. How is that not keyboard racing?

I would greatly obliged that request, as my friends and myself are at the track turning laps twice a month at minimal. We run SCCA AutoX a lot as well. So I feel most comfortable at the track. I hope I do meet other BRZ and FR-S owners there.
In the situation where skill comes into play between you and I and switching cars and same driver wins again, does not apply in this situation. These are PRO drivers and driver skill is fairly close to equal.
Secondly the Tsukuba lap battle was a video of the SAME driver driving both cars with the 86 still showing a 1sec+change being faster. There is no need to try and talk about different drivers when the same driver drives both and still has the same results. My post was to tell people to stop whining about the lap times and making these wild claims about bias this and fixed race that. We have sufficient enough evidence that the 86 can turn a faster lap time. My keyboard racer comment pertains to all the people claiming foul play in every video showing the 86 turning a quicker lap. Not that they weren't the same car. Difference in suspension tuning is evident in them.
