4 Meaningful Differences Between The Subaru BRZ and Scion FRS
The manual FRS weighs 6 lbs less than the base manual BRZ. The auto FRS weighs 18 lbs less than the base auto BRZ.
The FRS has a drag coefficient of 0.27, vs 0.28 (with spoiler) or 0.29 (without spoiler) on the BRZ. I believe this is due to panels under the car. (Series.Blue BRZ is 0.27).
The FRS has softer springs up front and stiffer springs in the rear vs the BRZ. Theoretically this makes it slightly less prone to understeer.
The Series.Blue BRZ wheels weighed about 3 lbs less (per wheel) vs the FRS. (Both are 17” alloys).

what would happen if some random guy would receive more up-votes than you :P
The BRZ has a subaru logo the FRS has a scion logo! Good to know
Boxer engine in the BRZ
Inline 4 in FRS
The FR-S has a 4U-GSE engine while the BRZ has a FA20. sarcasm
Always wondered the difference, good job Jason.
the BRZ has a black piece on the front bumper, the FRS does not
The most relevant difference is that on the BRZ you can put a STI badge on the trunk.
Nice one I’ve always wondered the difference between the two👍
Kind of makes me want a brz more. more prone to understeer = more power put down coming out of corners.
i guess that goes out the window when you go aftermarket though
