Haven't made a video or anything, but I have both a 2023 GR86 and a 2017 BRZ with PP and Edelbrock SC in my garage right now

It's not the most direct comparison as the 86 is stock and the BRZ is a full-on track car, but after driving and autocrossing both they feel like they make similar-ish power. The BRZ with supercharger definitely pulls harder in the higher RPMs and is overall faster. The 86 definitely has more torque down low... the BRZ sometimes can feel a bit boggy if the RPMs drop too much, but it screams up high.

I think the torque difference makes the 86 feel quicker than it is... the BRZ put down 250whp on the dyno so my sense is it might actually be quicker everywhere, but the 86 definitely gives the impression of pulling harder in the lower RPM range.

We might have both of them out at the track later in the year and can run them down the drag strip to get more of a proper comparison.
