I was a little disappointed that we are allowed to put that spoiler on the BRZ (when in real life, it's never been on the BRZ and only on the 86), but you go to the 86 and it did not add that spoiler to the 86/FR-S selection. Still only two spoilers available for it in the Aero options.

Spoiler looks good on the BRZ nonetheless though.

That's not the "Nür Spec" spoiler if that's what you're talking about...

It's pretty dang close to the Nur Spec spoiler if you ask me, but I guess you are right, it's not identical. It looks like the Celica spoiler though..

I think it's the WRX STI spoiler:





That would explain why it's on the BRZ but not the FR-S/GT86...

True because it lacks horizontal fins on the end caps. BTW "Nur Spec" is not the true name. My buddy actually inquired with Nur Spec about this spoiler and they told him they don't make one lol. It just coined that nickname probably due to spy shots of it being tested on the Nurburgring. Calling it GTS spoiler or Factory Tune spoiler would be more correct because those are the packages with which it is offered.

Also it's the only car among the triplets that requires you to pay to play so the 3rd spoiler option adds value and maybe some incentive to the purchase. Only costs 99 cents but requires a $5 minimum amount (non-refundable) to be in your PSN account before you can make any credit card purchases.

That is a hideous spoiler for this car if you ask me. But everyone has opinions. It throws the shape off and makes it look like a supra sort of.

Yeap. They didn't bother with spring rates either. All gt86/FR-S/JDM BRZ are exactly the same spec in GT5.

I already had like $3.79 in my PSN account, so I got all 3 DLC cars.

I feel the opposite. 86/FR-S turns in better to me. Understeer more in the BRZ. This is factory vs factory no tweaking aside from oil changes. When you lift off the throttle on the FR-S/86, you can get the cars rear end to rotate around.

I love the BRZ in the game. I love the way it looks. It does initially understeer, but coasting through the turn and gassing at the apex will drift nicely.
