Should give you all a general idea on its overall performance thus far.

About as expected. The 33hp advantage over the Miata means that while the Miata's p/w lets it keep up off the corners, it just loses ground by the end of the straight. And the FT-86 has noticeably more oversteer / BRZ noticeably more stable with less countersteer.

Wouldn't mind knowing what they are saying.

Well the Miata is its only legitimate competition market wise and current production wise. Putting a Z in there wouldn't exactly be fair at all, lol.

Why would they exclude the Sprite R? Is that 2012 model or 2011? The BRZ/86 is gay just like the Miata. They should have thrown a WRX in there too.

The MX-5 did well considering how fast (straight) the track is:
