I believe the whole comparison in this video, is which car is more of a driver's car. He says the BRZ is more of a driver's car, but the Mustang wins the numbers comparisons. The BRZ was a regular package with squeely Prius tires. The Mustang had the track package upgrade with way better Pirelli tires. So to make the numbers comparison equal either we upgrade the BRZ with better tires and some kind of track package upgrade or downgrade the Mustang to a standard V6 Mustang. Then we can make better comparisons. I believe if the BRZ had the same make and model tires as the Mustang it would of had a better track time.
The bottom line is, this was just another apples and oranges comparison. A wanna be muscle car (V6) versus a sophisticated inexpensive sports car. You can't really compare the two. Either you want a muscle car or a sports car. I want a sports car. I want a driver's car and I'm getting the FR-S!
