I've noticed the brz rotates very well under throttle, better than the mr2 I used to own. the mr2 being mid-engined tended to push under throttle. I didn't "tune it out" because I wanted the stability for a rear heavy car.
The main difference I'm noticing on corner exit is how easy it is to get the brz's tail to slide under power. In the mr2 that had a lot more torque, with the right alignment and tires, it was almost impossible to break the rear lose. It just hooked up and went.
I see 4 main differences though between the cars.
1. weight distribution favors mid-engined cars on corner exit traction
2. suspension setup - mr2 had aftermarket shocks and camber bolts
3. tires - 235 width fk452 vs 215 width prius tires
4. differential - mr2 had open diff that would spin the inside tire, a limited slip would dump the power on the outside tire if the inside tire had no weight on it.
Now, I want to say the brz is actually very good on corner exit. It's just a different kind of experience from the mr2 where I had absolutely no worry about losing rear traction on dry pavement. Wet pavement is a completely different story.
So can any of the above differences be addressed?
1. no
2. yes
3. yes
4. I've never driven a car with a limited slip before. I can say it definitely helps on the very tight corners where an open diff would just spin the inside tire. On higher speed corners, I might like the an open diff better for the added slip allowance or I just need to drive better.
corner entry and transitions is where the brz really shines above everything else though...
