Well, you were seriously quick. VAM of ~1300 for over an hour is brutal.

Totally agree that the value here is that they've included these cars along much more expensive ones, and specifically said that they didn't feel that BRZ/GR 86 were lesser cars.

Having said that, they should throw away all those numbers given with "up to hundredth of a G" numerical precision if even the tenths of a G's can't be trusted.
I laugh every time some research shows that 28.5714285% of people are xyz when they actually mean simply 2 out of 7.

The record held up for about 20 years.
