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).

5) The Subaru (BRZ) mechanic knows what he is looking at while the Toyota (FRS) mechanic has never seen a flat 4 before
And the front and back badges too :v
how about the GT86 ? i still not found the difference
A gt86 is a rebadged frs.
is this supposed to be a video or just a picture of the scion.
… i can’t see any difference… only the badges, that’s all.
If I buy a BRZ, I’ll put a GT86 front bumper, the BRZ’s one is smilling and I don’t like it so much
*page 45 of the book entitled “the car mods I want”
This is how i see them both!
I still want the stiffer suspension, plus I am extremely partial to Subaru.
