Look forward to seeing the aero upgrades. I bet it's the STI lip kit. :p

Sweet! I too already painted both my GT86 and FR-S in WRB, now I won't have to pretend those are BRZs and only take shots from the back LOL...

I wonder if there will be any difference in how it drives. TBH, I think the Forza 4 model of the FR-S is more accurate as you can easily get it loose. So having the BRZ in Forza would be more interesting to compare. In GT5, the 86 and FR-S are just too stable.

Im going to update my first post in the GT5 Nordschleife thread. Will include BRZ!
http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showt...t=Nordschleife

Im curious... Will the cars be the same in terms of handling? Will the BRZ have more understeer? Which car will be faster around the Nurburgring Nordschleife?

Comfort hard tires. Problem solved!
Sport Hard in offline mode is like driving with semi-slicks in terms of braking, cornering Gs and speed.

To me, cars in Forza feel like are all 4WD.

I agree, HSV has been on my wish list in GT5 for a while. I have every other Honda JGTC and Super GT car currently.

S is the grade. There are S, R, and RA in Japan.
12 is the model year 2012. It's 2012 model in Japan.

Not exactly the same according to the article...

Enjoy the natural feel of a compact front engine rear wheel drive (FR) sportscar by adding the Subaru BRZ S ’12 to Gran Turismo 5.
Sharing the specifications of the Toyota FR-S, the production model prototype was announced at the Tokyo Motorshow in November 2011. In addition to the different front grill and foglights, the driving feel of the suspension settings focuses more on stability, and reflects the sports car philosophy of Subaru. In the BRZ, you can enjoy the feel of an FR layout sportscar — a rarity in today’s automobiles.
