Posting this on the BRZ side of the forums as well.
I have a Type R, and am considering selling it for an 86/BRZ to put some money towards a new family car. I test drove a BRZ today, and while it was nice, I was a little disappointed with the steering feel as well as brake/throttle response. I really enjoy driving a car that feels razor sharp in its inputs, and the BRZ, while certainly not terrible, was a bit lacking in this regard for my tastes.
Two questions:
1. I've been having trouble finding an 86 to test and compare, and have read that the steering and throttle response might potentially be sharper on it. Can anyone who has driven both models confirm whether or not that's true?
2. Do any of you BRZ owners share my issues with input response? If so, have you taken any steps to address them amd what are they? For example, I was wondering how much a less-compressible, track-focused pad compound might help with braking response.
