Really. Half a second lap difference would've been a large difference that I would've tried to attribute to the car, 3-4 hundreds - no so much.

I might try a different track tonight, but I'm not expecting any difference.
Try doing 'blind' tests and see if you can tell the difference when you don't know what car you picked. Also, try driving with a bumper cam, LHD/RHD cars can subjectively feel different from the cockpit view.

Yeah, if only BRZ/GT86/FR-S had different suspension settings in the game, which they don't. So any handling difference, if there was any, would be another fail for GT5 publisher.

Like I said, they all feel the same to me, corner speeds are the same, turn-in points are the same. They are hard to drive around anything with angry curbs or elevation changes, due to rear spring in GT5 being @2kgs. So once it compresses - you're sliding.

The only difference I can spot - for some reason BRZ sounds different.
