I can get the FR-S to a faster time closer to the BRZ/86 if I concentrate more on not letting the tail slip because it does want to lose traction thru corners more. The BRZ doesn't turn in as much as much as I'd like sometimes yet puts power down better as its tires squeal the least through turns (which might explain its faster time). The 86 holds the middle ground turning in well and loses traction easier than the BRZ but feels a touch more composed than the FR-S.
This is bang on with the actual review I wrote of the track comparison between both cars. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16871

I downloaded the BRZ yesterday but only managed to respray it SPW and run 3 laps at TGTT. I've setup a race with a few friends on Sunday night with all 3 cars being allowed. Most of then race in real life, so it should be fun.
