Dont think that red pic is doing the front end any justice at all. Look great cars, be interested to see what theyre like in the flesh/metal (??)
Modern day twin-cam? In 20 years time will these all be fitted with janspeed exhausts and CB aerials? A lot of car for the monies though
I Love This Car, Are There Any Power Or Mechanical Differences Between Its Twins? The Subaru BRZ And Scion FR-S?
The BRZ suposidly has a slightly stiffer ride, but power wise they're both the same. The potential for an STI model is when things will get interesting, ATM it just hasn't got quite enough usable power, its rather modest output of 197bhp isnt reached until 7000rpm, so in day to day driving i think its gona feel abit lacking. However there is no denying the handling capabilities of the chasis and fun of RWD. Very very little has been said about the BRZ, most concept cars from other companies recieve more publicity than it has all together. Definitely the one id be abit more interested in though. Its also slightly easier on the eye...
If it was my choice I would be buying the Toyota, purely for the AE86 heritage however if they bring out a turbocharged version then the tuning and fun can really begin.
