PART 2: Track Comparison

Since we already have tested the stock BRZ and FRS on the track we know that it cannot compete in terms of performance with the S2000.  But let's pretend for a minute if Toyota and Subaru released a higher performance trim level like a TRD or STI model with the same wheel horsepower as the S2000 how would they compete?  That is what we attempt to simulate here.
