As we talk about weight let's see how BRZ/GT86 compares with Alpine A110 and Porsche Cayman in "moose test" (slalom at 80Km/h).
Bear in mind GT86 has the poor 17" Michelins while A110 18" Pilot Sport 4 and Porsche Cayman the much wider 235F-265R/45/18 Continental or PS, so who you believe wins here?

Clearly the GT86 is the winner and if you fit it a set of 225/45/17 stickier tires there is no comparison even with the Cayman.
Compare now their prices and we talk again about how good our cars are, people tend to underestimate what owns, is our nature!
