Track Comparison: S2000 CR vs. Gen 2 BRZ
Track comparison, S2000 CR vs. gen 2 BRZ. I like that both cars had good drivers, were on the same tires, and had typical enthusiast-level track mods.

I love my Gen2 BRZ (loved my gen1 as well) but the BRZ does not match the S2000 in terms of driver engagement. The revs, the sound, the connectivity, the open top experience….all just amounts to a more exhilarating experience. For daily, twins all day everyday. For a weekend warrior, AP1/2 takes the cake. YMMV though.

Hmm what makes you say that? From what I can see they had similar mod lists -- basically coilovers, NT01's, stock power.
The CR adds a Spoon 1.75 way LSD with 4.44 FD, Endless Mono4 BBK, and Recaros. BRZ is still on the stock 4.1 torsen, stock brakes, and stock seats. CR seems more prepped to me? Edit: Appears the BRZ has a rlca.

Ooh that's interesting, so F/R LCAs, toe arms, end links and a subframe bushing kit? What else does it have? They should really give an accurate mod list for the video.

When I finally get my GR86, I'll have to write up an owners perspective of what I'd consider critical comparisons (for example, my AP1 shifter felt like a bolt-action rifle). Engine sound within the cabin is another major topic, even with an aftermarket cat-back, the S2K with the top up was pretty difficult to hear the exhaust, almost muted or dulled at times (but absolute RACECAR with the top down ). Even though these two examples were unchanged in the power department, they seemed pretty evenly matched, but even that is subjective (who corners better on which alignment/spring setup, etc etc). My takeaway, it seems like the two cars are comparably equal in the fun department, so to me that's all that matters. |

Mine was procharged, I was already ahead in hp gains, a conservative ~290 whp. Also had a larger throttle body
