After seeing in pictures the twin .(BRZ & GR86) my taste and vote goes to the Blue car..mas oks dating ng front fascia.. Tsaka if will be based sa previous gen...mas maraming naging Ricey na 86 compared sa BRZ.... observation ko lang naman...

The old GT86 and BRZ may share the same platform, engine, and tranny. However, the BRZ has a much stiffer suspension this making it better on the track. I guess Subaru will do the same for the new BRZ.

Ito kasi silang dalawa..

Youthful - 86

matured or getting old - BRZ

BTT: at least they upgraded the engine of the BRZ. The previous BRZ was a really good handling car, even better than its twin (Toyota GR86) due to its stiffer suspension. However, it was no quicker or faster than the similar-priced WRX.

Many wanted a turbocharged BRZ but Subaru kept it with an NA engine. There is a thrill in keeping the revs high with an NA engine.

Quick summary:

BRZ suffers from oil pressure drop during high-G right turns

They fixed it by:
Using a baffle and overfilling by 0.5li
Using 40W oil instead of the recommended 20W or 30W (+6 PSI)
Adding an Accusump accumulator

Mods that didn't help with oil pressure, but were necessary for track:
Oil cooler (pressure drop caused by cooler slightly reduced by removing heat exchanger)

ano exactly yung accumulator? how does it work accumulating?

It stores extra oil and keeps it near the top of the engine. IIRC driven by oil line off the pump, just like a turbo.
When it detects a drop in oil pressure it starts to release the stored oil to keep the engine happy.

similarly,
i once used gasketmaker on my old RT100's carburator.
i ended up opening up the carb to de-clog it, under the moonlight in the Churchyard, so's i can drive it home.
"never use gasketmaker or any similar product, on the carburator!"
heh heh.
