my guess is tighter suspension, different tires...

Also, don't forget the 370Z driver probably has been driving his car for years. The BRZ driver could only have been driving it for months at most. And not many gymkhanas either.

This exactly. +1

A "blank canvas" stock car was only 1 second slower than a purpose built car. Pretty impressive I'll say

i think purpose built might be a little extreme. we have no idea what is going on with this car. and this is a course where power is basically out of the equation. one second is kinda big on a 70 second course. im not saying that its a bad thing for the frs but i dont see this as a huge win either

I mean purpose bulit by the fact that this car was suspension tuned and maybe other things vs a car that just came out and is completley stock. I see it as a WIN in my book imo

i missed the part where it said it was suspension tuned. what did they do to it?

Anytime there are spins involved, I don't take much credibility to the times.

Well PN2 seems to be a class like saying Formula Drift out of drifting. These cars aren't even in the same class due to engine displacements.

A car with "PN2 Spec" is like saying a "Formula D spec" car vs a stock car. We know that FD spec car has mods. Now about this race, we can assume the 370z is indeed modded, especially what the race is about, precision and control of the car, so suspension would be number 1 priority on buliding a car for that type of event.

Plus, you and I know about that 370z barley having any body roll in the video. lol

My .02

Or I may be wrong and the car just has stickers and claim its a different spec lol

i want to know which tires both cars were on

koyv90 · 04-02-2012, 12:42 PM

it looks like the brz is super slow under low rpms. :/ Sad panda.

crazyyankeefan · 04-02-2012, 06:33 PM

Hate to say this as a fellow 370Z owner, but the Z looks like having some heavy ass at the beginning of this video lol

Jordo! · 04-09-2012, 08:29 PM

The Z wins... but the BRZ is alleged to be bone stock. Be interesting to see a modified FRS/BRZ competing.

Xdragonxb0i · 04-09-2012, 09:59 PM

win, in terms of handling. i think it loss because of lack of tq,
i think it would be a different story with a bone stock 370
