I’m pretty sure that the tS has the same 4.3:1 final drive ratio that all manual transmission BRZs got starting with the 2017 year model. The tS also weighs a little more than other BRZs so if anything it’s a tick slower accelerating. The primary reason for the loss of fuel economy in the tS is the stickier tires, as I said earlier.
