For starters the accelerator pedal on the brz is featherlight compared to the BMW, meaning from a stop I often either over accelerate or under accelerate. I'm not sure if anything can be done about this though, I might just have to get used to it?

And on braking, I used to always do moderate braking, then during the last 5 feet coming to 0mph I would slowly let off the brake so that it would be smooth, and the car would not snap back too hard. But with the brz I keep feeling a weird stuttering, maybe the torque converter, or just different brakes. But speaking generally, is this a good way to stop a vehicle, or should I keep the braking the same amount from any speed to 0mph?

I know these questions are dumb, but the community seems friendly and I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask. Cheers

Howdy Xproplayer and welcome to our group -

The short version is that your old BMW and your new BRZ are totally different cars, so they drive totally different.

You will get used to it - it just takes time -
