Look, the BRZ / 86 is a great car, but the context of the post, and actually I'll add to the context as I am the one the OP referred to in post #1, is this: "The BRZ / 86 will out handle the 1LE all day long".
So...how would two guys go about finding out the validity of such a statement?
outside of Motor Trend's objective data, Glamcem has been kind enough to lend his experience as an 86 owner (among others) to shed some light on the subject, and I think he's done so in a meaningful way that doesn't detract from the greatness of the BRZ / 86.

I do NOT refute those tests, nor did I claim anything that those tests countermand.
A stock 86 does not appear to out handle a stock ss 1le.
dollar for dollar up to the cost of a stock ss 1le, I do not believe an ss 1le can outperform an 86 in ANY way depending on who's spending the money to modify the 86.
Anyone can spend a butt load of money and not get much performance gain, that isn't the same thing as what I'm stating though.
