[Bravo Romeo Zulu]

My first car was a Mk1 MR2 which I drove almost 30 years ago. I'd say that the BRZ has similar rotation characteristics on turn-in but the biggest difference is of course that the MR2 was quite a handful in an oversteer situation whereas the BRZ is easy to catch (VSC off). On corner exit, the MR2 was more hooked up under acceleration due to the extra weight on the rear.

On a related note, I just replaced the stock tires with Michelin Pilot Super Sports in the stock size. They are pretty close to R compound tires like the Hoosiers and Kumhos I used to autocross on, in terms of grip and steering feel. I am super impressed. FYI, the wear rating is misleading because while the stock tires have a rating of 240, the PSS rating is 300. However, Michelin has a 35,000 mile wear warranty on the stock tires vs. 30,000 for the PSS. Anyway, highly recommend the PSS -- and there is a $70 rebate right now.
