Nice couple of handbrake turns there near the end.
It's all in how you drive.

This video tells you absolutely nothing about what a stock BRZ will be like on track. It's clearly dropped on aftermarket springs and has non-OEM wheels and tires, and who knows what other mods it has?

Found the source for the AutoX videos. Interesting blog.

Probably an independent and honest "review" who has no real reason to mince his words unlike the commercial reviewers.
1. 705kg front 564kg rear. 1269kg as delivered.
2. He doesn't feel the torque dip.
3. Gear knob for gen1 brz doesnt fit. Instead need one that works with the GR Yaris (whatever that stud dimension is).

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Edit: they’re both M12x1.25 from what I can dig up (ZN6/ZC6 and Yaris). So maybe this is an auto vs manual thing (autos are M10).

LOL. That thing would not make it a 1/4 mile here before the Toronto cops would have it off the street, for obvious reasons.

I think I would do everything he’s done, except the wing. Lol a bit much for me. One thing I’ve grown to dislike is the plastic on the back of the car, it was much more apparent on the black car.

Do you see that mic taped into the instrument cluster though... I had to do that when I put in a Pioneer head unit for carplay but I'm not so keen on doing that again.

Agreed, that looks janky. I ran my Sony mic to the OEM location and that was much better. I had to add some foam between the roof and the mic because the aftermarket mic picked up way more road noise.
