Facts about the FH BRZ:

- Same aftermarket bumpers as the FR-S (of course)
- '11 STi engine swap is available
- PI is 2 lower than the FR-S to start with
- Launch is .2 worse than the FR-S

Stats comparison:

FR-S

Cost: 24,000
PI: 375
Speed: 5.6
Handling: 8.3
Acceleration: 6.2
Launch: 6.0
Braking: 7.8

BRZ

Cost: 27,000
PI: 373
Speed: 5.6
Handling: 8.3
Acceleration: 6.2
Launch: 5.8
Braking: 7.8

Honestly, the only reasons one would buy this over the FR-S in game are:

- Prefer Subaru over Toyota
- Make Subaru Rally liveries
- STi engine swap

Other than that, there's not really a reason to spend the extra 2,000cr...unless you can get a better performing BRZ over the FR-S. I have a fully tuned FR-S that's a PI of R3 756 (would vary depending on wheels). With the STi swap, and all of the best parts, the BRZ comes to... R2 821!

So, there you go. Maybe the BRZ isn't a total waste of space if you can tune it to kick it's FR-S twin's can.

I wasnt sure about AWD or RWD, so I went to the #1 dutch car magazine and they said it was AWD? Anyway, the fact that not even the drivetrain is different makes this being added even more pointless.

Stating the obvious or not, he was simply correcting MartinBond. Don't see anything wrong in that. :p

Actually, other than interior trim, badging and slightly stiffer suspension, it is identical to the FR-S.

Also, this is Made for U.S.


Nope the front is totally different, It actually looks better!
and @lcpdcv it is RWD 200 BPH 2.0l engine. My Friend owns one, and just to say on the first try, car of the Year for me.

The BRZ isn't all wheel drive it is rear wheel drive.

It's got the same weight, same gearbox, same 200 HP, 205 Nm, 4-cyl boxer engine as the FR-S, but with different badges and all wheel drive, so it's léss exciting to drive. Yay! :whistle:

The only thing that looks the same is the rear but most of things is different.

no offense but this is just stupid, it's a work of maybe an hour to change the badges. I would have preferred another car (VW T1 for example) than this...

Nice! I'm getting happy for this.
Both BRZ and FR-S would be great!
