Embarassingly enough, the Honda has more torque at a lower rpm. A Honda has more torque. I still think the FRS would be a bit faster off the line just because of weight transfer.

And $27k is for the better equipped BRZ, right? The Scion is $2k or so cheaper?
Well, you put it like that, i agree. LOL. I still wouldnt buy either let alone an 86 over a Z. Not to thumb my nose up, but the Civic crowd, FRS, Miata stuff, is at least a class level below a Z. Theres nothing WRONG with that, its necessary in fact, so cross shopping an 86 with a 370 is like cross shopping a 370 with a C7. Pointless if you dont/cant pony up.
