I dont think it sounds better on the video game.

I'll admit that video (which I've also seen and noticed its kinda amplified in my own watching) isn't what makes me feel like its genuine sounding. There are definitly better videos where the bass capture isn't so high.

Unlike a game, the engine and revs respond correctly to all the real world inputs - you wont here a rumble strip effect the engine like it does in real life, engine braking is also not properly captured in games. Thats why its more genuine.

And your 86 video - sounds louder than usual in cabin noise from my memory (but hey I only ever owed the OG model stock).

It's a bit louder than stock because I took the little wad of foam out of the sound tube, so like the TRD sound changer, but free.

So interesting to hear the drift king talk about why the gt86 was built the way it was.

First BRZ driving impression with comparison to GR86 I've seen

That’s crazy! Regardless though, it's not that difficult to change.h

Didn't see the BRZ one. It seems to be newer than the GR86 impressions.

Compared to Noblesse (I assume same conditions):
GR86 AT 1min 22.09
GR86 MT 1min 22.78
BRZ AT 1min 23.14
BRZ MT 1min 23.14

In here, Nob managed 1.20.4 in a stock GR86....
And 1.12.8 in a modded GR86 (HKS SpecL2, Hipermax, A050 tyres, mechanical LSD, 100kg lighter)

What track is that? I hope it's not Tsukuba 2000... 1:12 is not impressive at all given the weight reduction, crazy sticky tires and other mods.

Edit: They didn't touch aero so it's not that bad? I don't know, 1:12 is just sad to hear.

That same Forest raceway that the brz and gr86 were launched at. I quoted the earlier post of the same timings achieved by DK in the same track during the launch days.

Hks GR86 with coils and exhaust did a 1:01'855 at Tsukuba.You can see it at Hks_japan Instagram

Would consided Torsen differential also to be a "mechanical differential". Would be curious to know what differential is attributed here to have superior tracking performance?
