The 370Z feels fat to me and has a high dash. I'm thinking the BRZ will be more in line with my 2G Eclipse. It'll be 35 mm wider with a 60 mm longer wheelbase but 140 mm shorter length overall and the height is exactly the same. Same width tires, 10 mm less sidewall, same diameter wheels, and similar body shape.

You mean you've driven all those cars and the BRZ's CG feels much lower? Is it really that big of a difference when compared to an S2000? I'd like to know because I currently drive an S2000.

Just a small note: I only sat in BRZ. Driven FRS

Anyways, my friend own AP1 and I've driven it, track it several times. When I sat in S2k, seat was higher than I've expected vs FRS/BRZ seats were low as I've expect

Interesting feedback. I've driven an AP2 and thought the seats were pretty low. I'd be amazed if you sat even lower in the BRZ/FR-S.
