I think the 4.3:1 ratio is ideal compromise for fast road and track driving, that's why Toyobaru chose it, but in the roads where I drive the 4.56:1 is more suitable, many corners, mountain roads etc perfectly mated to the BRZ/GT86 character.
Is the torque what this car needs more than the absolute power, IMHO, and this is the area where the closer final drive shines!
