Just as a note to this, and I am sure that ZDan is aware, each track will favor certain car types just like autoX or rallyX courses.

ViR Full/Grand is BY FAR a power track. So are the majority of tracks I would run (Summit Point, Road Atlanta, Sebring).

With that stated, I have driven 126hp-150hp Subarus A LOT.

Also, if I really wanted to, I could put some camber plates + FSB + RE-71Rs on the 16 STi and autoX that... but I don't want to do that to that car right now.

Honestly, the suspension design of the Corvette (and Miata) are superior. Tirewear and adjustability are superior. That is what had me finally land where I am after 10 years of asking myself what I wanted.

The BRZ... it is just a good, cheap car. I think it will be the "NA Miata" for me (don't fit in Miatas) when the time is right... and I am ready for Champcar.

I am not looking for speed/R-comps. Just an enjoyable experience I and my wallet can live with, really.

I agree with really giving a shot what I already have. I really like the Corvette for so many things (versatile), but cheap tires is not a strong point.

Thanks for your insight, but I don't think even you are catching many people on ViR Full with even a well driven BRZ PP on A6s.
