Tracked my Z at a small track and over powered cars means squat at a small track.
Im pretty sure, failrly sure, very sure, that with equal drivers, same day, same track, the 370 will dust any FRS/BRZ in time attack-stock for stock. Im not a nut hugging Z fan to think its the end all of all cars. its not. Its **** in some areas. Im talking OTD price of BRZ is Z territory. Two different classes of performance. Much like a 370 against a c6. Failrly sure the Z gets its *** handed to it on any track at any...etc.

I'm sure you said this between the lines, but I'd agree with the one exception being a new or poor driver where the Z can get out from under him while the BRZ/FRS stock likely isn't going to be so easy to spin; basically just a lack of power keeping it safer.

Ever drive one? Im not exaggerating that you easily step out at 20 to 25 mph. Theres a lot of preamble before she does but spinning that car is comically easy. Swap ends real quick.

on a side note, FRS is MUCH easier to drive than a Z. The Z has bit me a few times playing around. Then again I suck. That being said, doing what i did in the Z, the FRS would not bite me like that. For me its all about performance. What the car is capable of. right now the car is far more capable than myself. Couple weeks going to Sebring with a friend who has a modded Zo6 (thing is a beast, runs 2:20's).
