Same question on the cornering compared to Evo?

Thanks!
Theres alot to compare between the two cars, and I could go off talking about the differences forever, but....

Turning in with the BRZ is much better and more precise. I can whip the BRZ's front end into almost anything and it doesn't really complain. The steering I also like better in the BRZ. It's a bit more stiff and responsive.

Cornering feels better in the BRZ. It just more fun, albiet I'm pretty sure the EVO can take corners faster because of it's huge grip. Since the BRZ is lightwieght and RWD, the dynamics of cornering compared to the evo is pretty cool. In the BRZ I feel like im in some kind of high speed shuttle from star trek going through corners. Very quick, and planted experience. The evo has more body roll and the front end is heavier.

Power...well we know which has more, but the Turbo in the evo spins up at about 3k and becomes nasty at 3.5k with mounds of torque available. N/A of the BRZ is constant and I firmly believe the BRZ will beat the stock EVO off the line for about 3 seconds...then its all over the for the BRZ

I hated the evo in first gear. It was a total dog trying to launch correctly.
