The BR-Z will have an astounding aftermarket available from what I've seen thus far. If you plan on staying stock, then I'd go with the Z, but if I was going to build a nice Jap Tuner car with strong aftermarket support and many options that is a thrill to drive even at 40-50mph, I'd go with the BRZ.
My thoughts exactly! While I always planed on installing a turbo kit for my Z, after seeing this 11.3 @ 127 BRZ 1/4 mile I am seriously considering a turbo kit BRZ and selling my Z.

Think about it.. with such little time for development, this little car has already bested our FI Zs on our own top track times list. And that is nothing short of amazing IMO.
