MX-5 and 86 are very close in price, so it makes sense to compare them. s2k is almost $10k more, a totally different league of price/performance.

Exactly. The drivers were having some fun, and the TV station wanted some "heightened reality", so they had the Toyota hang out the tail to play up the supposed handling differences between it and the BRZ. They arranged the cars so the BRZ and Toyota would pass the Miata.

people stated who the driver of the BRZ was and rattled off his credentials. so he either slowed down for the GT to make it a closer race or was told that the BRZ could not win during the taping.

Between those 2, I'll take "fixed" over "sucked".

They are shifting at 99 Kilometers per hour in 2nd gear...that is 61.5 MPH.
14.3 1/4 mile in the 86? Damn! |

Good videos. Kind of nails down the FT vs MX-5 question.
