Default BRZ = Poor man's Porsche via C&D

Poor man's Porsche....Yummy...

In its current state, the BRZ’s balance of attributes needs no tweaking. It offers razor-sharp handling with limits that let you exploit the car’s capabilities on the street, all at a sweet price. In that sense, the BRZ is the perfect everyday sports car, even if  you’re not driving on a perfect road.

is the BRZ coming out before the FR-S? There are a bunch of reviews on the BRZ and not much from the FR-S. I just dont get it even though it doesnt matter because its the exact same chassis.

Reviews for the GT86/FR-S came out long before the BRZ ones as of late. There is even a video showing the two of them comparing lap times at the race track. 86/FR-S was faster by a little over a second.
