So, I noticed there are some discrepancies between Toyota and Subaru websites regarding some measures, as well as a couple of things I don't know how to explain, so I would like to try to clear them up and actually get some accurate figures. Hopefully those lucky souls who already have their cars can assist.
PS: All data is for MT gearbox.

Aus BRZ Brochure
Weight:
Aus Toyota site states the following weights:
GT: 1257
GTS: 1275
Yet GT comes with a steel spare which I imagine weights more. What is the weight without the spare?
Subaru BRZ:
Aus Brochure: Tare mass given at 1216kg
Not sure what definition Subaru Aus has for Tare Mass.
Global website gives kerb mass of BRZ premium at 1239kg.
I would also think that BRZ with cloth seats would weight just slightly less than GTS, as it doesn't have heated seats.
Fuel Consumption:
GT/GTS - 7.8
BRZ - 7.8
Interestingly , on the Subaru global website, fuel consumption for the basic spec BRZ (equivalent to GT) is given at 6.9 l/100km.
I would think GT consumption would be slightly lower than GTS due to weight.
Acceleration 0-100km:
GT/GTS:
Not given.
BRZ: 7.6sec (both website and brochure)
Once again, I would imagine GT would be slightly faster than the other two variants due to slightly lower weight. Removing that steel spare would further improve things. Would like to get the numbers.
Wheels and some US publications quoted acceleration time under 7 sec - how come?
Few nice to knows:
Weight of GT wheels vs GTS.
AUS BRZ weight measured in the same way as Toyota.
Do Aus cars come with the same diff ration as US cars? Any mechanical difference that could explain the slower 0-100?
Hopefully together we can get the answers
