The overall average moral aptitude and reproductive capability of the BRZ owner is greater than that of the GR86 owner. This is objective and observable on a daily basis and clearly documented by the level of regal and knowledgeable Subaru owners in this forum 🧐. This does not mean that GR86 owners are unintelligible, just far less evolved and more stupider than the BRZ owners.

Some might liken the differences between the two owners to Samsung and the motion picture “Galaxy Quest”. One is an electronics manufacturer and the other is a silly movie starring many actors. The other is a gnat.

Furthermore, artificial intelligence will change the world as we know it and end in a singularity by the year 2036 while we all simultaneously discover that aliens are far more real and present in our daily lives than we ever had imagined.

Have no fear homosapiens, though there may be an entirely unfair competition between the BRZ and GR86 (clearly favoring the BRZ), where they both share in their impressiveness is the rare propensity of their engine, in proper conditions, to shear itself internally into a rather unsightly plume of smoke and bearing particulate.

In conclusion, I really need to use the restroom. Can someone here show me where it is?
I don't really understand:rolleyes:
 
I got my 86 at MSRP last December. I actually wanted a BRZ first, but the Subaru dealerships near my area had a six month wait time for one. Called a Toyota dealership and they had one arriving in two weeks with surprisingly no deposit on it. Put the deposit down and that was it.

Honestly I prefer the BRZ front due to how much happier it looks but I'd recommend getting either one that you can get your hands on first.

If track is important to you the 86 might be better due to the iron knuckles that are compatible with previous gen big brake kits, but the aluminum knuckles are nice just due to weight savings in the BRZ.

In fact the BRZ tS has iron knuckles akin to the 86. I assume that's for cost savings reasons since it has the brembos on it.

Take a test drive on both if you can to see if you feel any difference.
The details you provided about the iron knuckles and their implications for track performance are very helpful for car enthusiasts considering these models. The comparison between the standard BRZ aluminum knuckles and the 86/BRZ tS iron ones is particularly insightful. It's good to know that cost might be a factor in the choice of material, and that performance enthusiasts have options depending on their priorities.

I hope your 86 is serving you well, and I commend you for making the most of the opportunity that presented itself!
