Aside from weather the biggest differences between this and the last comparison is the weight of the RF-ND and the gear ratios of the 86, I suppose the 5hp bump played a part too. The PP might have been worth a bit more because of the dampers, but I doubt it's significant.

Lol well yes all of those make a difference. I meant to say that it's the big advantage over the 86. Yes shorter gears, torque band etc.. But because the car is 2300lbs instead of 3000lbs, those differences have a bigger impact.
It's like the difference between adding 20whp to an 86/BRZ and adding 20whp to an 500hp BMW SUV lol. The end result is more apparent in the 86/BRZ
