You think a 2.0T Gen Coupe is faster than an S2k around a track?

 

If I may borrow one of your favorite lines, "It depends on the drivers."

 

In the reviews, cars are driven by the same driver.

In the consumer world, It depends on drivers to optimize the vehicle. I'm not delusional to think that a capable driver in car X will still lose to capable driver in car Y.

I don't make blanket statements, they are much more deeper than the surface level which is what you make that statement out to be.

 

Ok, to be fair, I am more experienced than the driver of the S2k in front.

Here's a video of my driving an s2k. Stock suspension, stock aero, on 255 RS3, exhaust, and alignment.


And no, a Mustang V6 and Gen coupe are not faster than either of these cars at MOST tracks. They'll be faster at a power track, like Auto Club Speedway.

This is our BRZ at ACS; this lap currently holds the street tire record there for any FRS/BRZ, although we don't expect it to last long

And yes, the BRZ does oversteer... watch the end ;)

 

I wonder how modded the s2k in that (first) video was? Seemed pretty serious, still, props to a brz for keeping up on the track!

EDIT:

"The BRZ has an alignment (crash bolts), exhaust, wheels, and Star Specs. The S2k has an alignment, wheels, AD08, Coilovers, and exhaust."
