So I can kind of see the connection he's making. 1st gen 86 has the smaller engine, makes less power/torque, and is slower than 2nd gen. But it's also lighter and more raw overall, sort of like the AP1.
In the S2000 community, there was a rift between AP1 and AP2 owners when the AP2 came out. It kind of continues today, although mostly joking around.

I would see the connection being made if the 2nd gen BRZ made 5hp more than the 1st gen, but that's not the case. Since this thread is about the motors, idk how one can spin an argument that the FA20 is better...
