Its technically not really compatible with the FRS either but I assume that all three varient send the same info over the CAN BUS and that's what this device is reading from. So theoretically it could work the BRZ

Technically, its more like a sex tape, a replay of what you've already done, so you can watch yourself...

Still very cool, but too bad it's not open world. If it integrated into something like Google Maps, it would have a wider audience. Something like using GPS data from a real flight to replay your latest adventure in a Flight Sim.

I think it would actually be quite helpful if your local track is supported. You could load your best lap into the game, program it as the ghost, fiddle with suspension, final drive, etc settings virtually until you see an improvement in your lap time. You can also experiment virtually with later/earlier braking points and corner exits.
