You can hardly feel a 10whp gain by the seat of your pants. Seems like FI is the only way to go. Thanks again.
Middle car is the one that pulled 152whp on the dyno, red car is mine, 162whp on the dyno. Leftmost car is san1231's car, power unknown. 2 races, as you can see 10whp makes a difference

I know our BRZ is selling at almost half a million more than the 86.

I am asking as people who see me drive it always ask me this. I always say the suspension setup is different. There are aesthetic differences as well.

===========

Yesterday while parking at a supermarket to buy groceries a young woman approached me and handed me a flyer offering me custom vehicle registration plates that follows the format and style of the EU plates. Difference being the left part sports the Philippine flag while the right side sports the logo of your car brand.

I feel really dumb for not closing my car door and locking it when this happened. For all I know she could have been part of a carnapping gang.
Paps I think the only difference is that the BRZ comes with leather heated seats, aside from the suspension calibration. Does the BRZ come with the frameless rearview mirror like in the 86? In any case, both cars are awesome
