Spoiler - it's top 3. Interesting differences it picked up on between gr86 and brz - the pumped in sound, the tachometer, and suspension tuning. |

the tachometer is mainly because they didn't played with the menus. You can set the warning on both GR86 and BRZ.

Next up: people coming to this forum starting a billion new threads like "Hey, have you heard that GR86 has a better tachometer than BRZ?" and "GR86 generates more G's in corners than BRZ, but BRZ can accelerate much harder?" |

Wow they need to learn how to filter garbage from their data. Any test engineer worth their salt would look at these numbers and tell them to do it again. Yes I’m sure 2 cars that are essentially the same can differ this much in max acceleration and max cornering. |

Is the fake sound really different between the BRZ and GR86?

Maybe the difference in fake sound affected the acceleration and cornering. Thats what I am going with.

I have a buddy that has written for Jalopnik and R&T. He can't drive. At all. Anyways, I found a video confirming my bias that the BRZ is still 1% awesomer lmao

Doesn’t look like they had any pro driver to set lap times for comparison, so no surprise the data is all over the place.

Turn in on the gr seems to sharper from the 30 videos I've watched on the subject.
Gr gets track instruction and 2yr maintenance. Brz gets aluminum knuckles and the tpms reset.

Rear end break away seems to be much more linear in the BRZ from those 30 videos also. You win some, you lose some. BRZ also gets stiffer bushings and stiffer rear stabilizer attachment points. Not just aluminum knuckles. BRZ drivers don't need instruction so it's not offered lol |

Hell yeah
And can't forget the Subie culture. I think Subaru is a great company. Subaru Motorsports USA driver, Travis Pastrana, set a new record of 5 minutes 28.67 seconds at the 2021 Mt. Washington Hillclimb on the way to an overall event victory at the wheel of the Airslayer STI, his 862-horsepower Gymkhana 2020 Subaru WRX STI. |
