but i'd like to minimize our losses.
how far off the pace is the BRZ Ts in CS and the BRZ w/ PP in DS?

and what STI options were factory / port installed and SCCA street legal? STI springs? STI wheels? STI short shifter? STI ground effects?

thanks!

ps. my son has had some autox karting experience. he may beat me pretty quickly, lol
SSC is probably your best option with a 2013-2016 FR-S/BRZ. Everyone has the same equipment and you can see how well you improve each event.


It depends on your region's competition whether you will be "competitive" in CS or DS. A BRZ tS still will not be as good of an option as an FR-S/86 with the TRD parts in CS which will not be as good as the RX-8/S2000 which will not be as good as an ND2 MX-5. You will learn and may be competitive if your region does not have any/many of these cars that are well driven in CS. DS is the same story as CS but much more course dependency that will 90% of time favor the high horsepower rally cars. I ran DS for a couple years but hated the ride height of my car and switched back to CS this year (TRD FR-S).
