BRZ


IMO the SCCA’s dealing with the FRS/BRZ twins in street class has been a bit of a cluster fuck. Optional TRD suspension packages that were supposedly port installed (although no one ever saw a case when they weren’t dealer installed) really messed up the perceived balance between the twins and created a lot of controversy.
