I believe the Gen1s lifecycle had a more raw initial feel to the final models which appeared to be more refined (sachs dampers, stickier rubber, brembos). It feels like a page from the Porsche playbooks to have return customers to a brand through the lifecycle of a model / generations.
While it has been mentioned that the tS is more cosmetic changes than a rebuild like an WRX --> WRX STi or S209, did you experience the Gen1-base to Gen1 tS? PP models with Sachs + Brembos? While this can be seen as splitting hairs and ineffective changes relative to just STX / SCC prepping a Gen1, I think there is some good discussion to be had in the micro as well, if you have insight here.
To give back some:
I think the simple answer here is to add caster and more "factory" stock camber here. Other S209-like changes with pillowball changes and overall suspension rate changes + good dampers (adaptive / magnetic) could really give more feel back.
And, by the time the tS is ready, maybe tS-specific steering modes / adjustment could be something to give back more feel which you can't just do with bolt-ons.
Thanks for your time and insight, @ Veloist. |
I did not feel any differences between the 18 and 20 tS.
However, the differences between the standard BRZ (with & without the Performance Package) and the tS are still apparent (steering feel, turn-in, and confidence from grip). Most of those online/YouTube journalists pretty much say the same thing I did. If youre familiar with theTopher he even drove a tS against his modified BRZ (13 or 14 I forgot) and consistently got 1 second faster lap times on the track he drove on with the tS.
