I think some people forget the true nature of the gt86. It's like a blank piece of paper and the owner can create their masterpiece and express their vision through this car. So many directions and limitless possibilities.
Elijah Vang Exactly extremely well said! And there are so many people out there saying ohhh the 86 tricked us into thinking It was fast ohhh 0-60 was soooo slow and some very stupid complaints of that nature.
I love my mostly stock BRZ, but I understand why some people want more power from it. I wish they offered both. But I do enjoy hanging with the Porsches and Corvettes in the turns before they blow me away on the straights. 😎
It's a nice fkin car I don't race. I've always liked an rsx but it's so old so I'll get a frs. 86..brz. It just looks nice and drives nice. Speed honestly is least of my concern.
Awesome video guys just one thing to note, the reason Subaru doesn't want to add forced induction to the BRZ is because it will take a lot of sales away from the WRX which is one of their flagship cars. Thanks!
As one of our viewers pointed out, we totally misspoke when we called Dan's supercharger centrifugal- it's a twin-screw. We're dummies and +XxMammalxX is smart.
The very first car I that I bought at age 20 was a '96 NA Mazda MX-5 (Miata) with the 133bhp 1.8L engine. Stock as a rock, except for some good Pirelli tyres. It gave me four years of driving everywhere right on the speed limit, regardless of road conditions or weather. Four years of cheeky late-night slow speed oversteer around the backstreets. Four years of top-down summer cruising with my GF in the passenger seat, loving life. I never felt like I was at serious risk of breaking the car or hurting myself/somebody else by overcooking it, had a great time, and I never got a single speeding fine. A mildly worked-over BRZ seems like a perfect spiritual successor to my beloved Mazda. You don't need heaps of power to put a huge grin on your face.
You see, I thought the same thing before I sold my 2001 Miata for a 2018 BRZ. I never felt like I was missing anything with my Miata. Every moment behind the wheel was a blast. The BRZ just doesn't have that same magic. Mazda found an unmatchable formula. No one can even put it into words, Miatas are just fun lol. So with that in mind, people often feel like something is missing with the BRZ and the first glaring hole is in the power. Just my feeling after making that switch.
@@yo_its_devo I would love to see more 86 owners push for weight reduction first before adding power - lightweight wheels, battery and seats, pull the rear seats that no one sits in, etc. Yes it would make them less comfortable but I think that's part of the Miata magic - you're not isolated from road noise or wind noise and it's harder to go from point a to point b without thinking about it. Plus weight reduction would add to the fun factor without making the speeding tickets more expensive.
2 years late to this comment. But I'm 17 now and this car is among some of my dream cars. I also like the mitsubishi eclipse and ford gt, although I'll probably never own a ford gt
Nissan needs to bring back the 240sx to compete with these especially if they gave us in USA a stock turbo'd version (We never got sr20 engines only the na KA). Affordable rwd manual cars that you can mod until your hearts content that aren't all electronic bs and handle good with just enough power to be fun is a great platform to build from. Hopefully Nissan brings back the 240sx one day, that would be awesome.
Will it be possible to get an affordable rwd car, with a decent engine, not dependent on a computer these days? Every time I visit a show room the engines are shrinking in size while in-car electronics are getting out of hand.
You guys make TH-cam look so effortless, though it's clear a TON of effort goes into your videos. Every new video you two put out seems to best your last one.
You guys made me fall in love with the FR-S. I bought one 3 months after i watched this video. In about a month i start putting mods on it. Thank you for this beautiful video, well done.
Excellent point at the end about how forced induction isn't completely necessary. Sometimes upgrading suspension and tires makes a car feel completely different.
Yeah. I dusted a highly visually modified frs that was slammed, had a rocket bunny kit and a massive gt wing. In my manual 230 hp mercedes c class. Lol.
I love my 86, I've had it for two years now going on three soon enough but I have never really felt the need for the car to have more power, that playful spirit is something I feel is often lost in modern cars which makes it such a refreshing car to drive. I will say though better suspension and tire wouldn't hurt but the best place to put all that extra money is track time.
That hyper blue BRZ is just sex same exterior mods i would do except maybe a carbon duck bill spoiler instead to accent the black and blue theme more. But i love the FRS/BRZ if they had just a little bit more power like 250+ it would be even better. Great video guys and keep up the awesome work.
As a BRZ owner who bought mine stock, you really don't need forced induction to get some power out of the FA20 motor. With a full exhaust, catless UEL headers, intake, and a tune it really throws you back in your seat screaming all the way up to redline.
"Comes from a line of various BMW's??" Look at the Z4 with over 300 horsepower and you see that BMW understands the joy in slamming tons of horsepower in a small chassis. It would be more honest to say you cant afford horsepower than to say it is part of some plan of the engineers to deny this horsepower purposely. Trust me, those engineers begged for every single HP they could get from the accountants at Toyota and Subaru.
Amazing video as always, I love the side to side comparison. A lot of people hate on cars that don't have a lot of power but when it comes to cars like these they miss the whole point. The fun you can in a car when you can safely drive it to its limits on the road is unmatched.
all of those things you described about the FRS are all of the things that i loved about my 83 celica GTS. it wasnt overly powerful, but it was really fun to drive. If i could find another decent 83ish celica I would be all over it.
you guys are too good at making these videos ! once again blown away with the quality of your filming and editing. I always feel like i'm watching a movie with your videos not a you tube channel.
Honestly guys, how do you still have just 41k subscribers? You're such a good channel and your filming and editing skills are out of this world and easily 10 times better than other channels. Also your vid's are really entertaining and nice to watch. Hoping you'll get more succesful in some time, but until then: keep it up and coming guys. You are really good ;)
when my gt86 was stock. i was kimda complaining about the power output too. but after getting uel headers and tune i really have no complaints excepts those idiots that call the car bad even if they have never driven one
The FRS/86/BEZ are so easy to modify it's perfect, there's so much support for it everywhere that's it's more than easy to upgrade almost EVERYTHING on the car.
Realistically, the "old sports car formula" in the FRS/BRZ today gets overtaken by V-6 minivans with kids making taunting faces at you. More power IS necessary.
ravenstylea2 in a straighaway yes. In mountainous/canyon roads the minivan will rollover and explode. These little cars are for those kinds of roads. For a drag race get a v8 or something
the doge Everyone has heard that argument a 1000 times. Never said it had to be a camaro fighter in a straight line. Unfortunately in every day driving, there won't be enough of your said scenario, which gets me back to my first point.
Where are you driving that has minivan drivers willing to speed that hard with kids in the back? It'd be a dream come true if all the minivan drivers over here are that fast, cuz over here they're going the 2nd slowest right after the semi-trucks. You can literally overtake them with a plain RAV4 without even breaking traffic laws in everyday driving (I do it all the time). In everyday driving, you'll almost never encounter drivers willing to push their vehicles at speeds where power or tuning really matters.
We top out faster than v6 chargers mustangs ect, you've obviously never raced on a freeway, I just drove 10 hours to Arizona from California and I beat most cars because top speed, it's not all 0-60 times obviously an American muscle will take you at a stop sign but not in the long run. A v8 even won't in California because belts, the belts in Japanese cars top out higher because kmh only by like 10 mph tho lmao
This is why we give big thanks to companies like vortec for creating superchargers specifically made for the fa20 that can be ran on stock internals and can also have supporting mods and pushed even further, a car like the brz/86 with mid 300hp is a scary power/weight ratio.
I just want to say, besides 2 pretty cool cars being featured. Kudos to the amazing camera work and editing that went into this video. Liked and subscribed 👍
I like the BRZ/FRS family of vehicles. They are great on the street and fun in the twistys. If the new model has more power we'll see how well it delivers on the same formula that it was built on.
Forced induction is a requirement to have more fun though. Drive your first turbocharged car and you'll never go back to a boring old naturally aspirated appliance again.
I'm sure someone has probably pointed this out but I'm new and you guys are driving around manassas aren't you!? That's soooo cool I didn't know we had any car TH-camrs here!
@@waykool698 I hate to say this, but the "Tuned by STi" version didn't produce any additional horsepower. All that was "tuned" was the aero package, the handling characteristics, and some STi badging. Oh, and some parts come standard that were options on the lower trim level (sachs dampers, etc). Not worth the extra 5-7k IMO.
this made me rethink about my car, I own an 08 v6 mustang and just like the 86 line it does not make near enough power, 210hp/240tq I understand the want for more power, granted since it is a v6 and a higher displacement motor there is a tiny bit of flexibility to add some more power but not much, yes part of the fun is not having all the power of a built car and being able to push your car and hear the engine and exhaust scream, hate on me or my car doesn't matter, real car enthusiasts respect and appreciate all cars
I have a 2015 sti that's pushing a little under 400 hp. I'm about to buy a brz cause it's a subie and it's a rwd car. I love my sti it's my daily but it's missing the fun factor a rwd has. It's a love hate relationship with how the car is so composed in turns. I need some "oh shit I'm skidding sideways" in my life.
my guess is that, given the hindsight of this video being 3 years old, they didn't want to sell supercharged or turbo versions because they knew they were going to bring the supra back and the boosted brz makes almost as much power as the new supra at half the price. i've always thought this car looked more like a supra than the actual new supra.
Great Video, The Stock 86 with Simple bolt ons is a great car. We like the addition of a Tune With E85. The power is just right for daily and more spirited driving.
Holy shit this has like the perfect scene especially when he pulled up with the brz😂😂😂 it kinda gave like a tokyo drift type theme with the buildings in the background. Loved it man❤️❤️
Invidia N1 with catless test pipe, Tomei headers, Crawford intake manifold spacer, Tomei Uel catless headers and a OFT V2 91 tune with some adjustments for the spacer I made about ~50 more hp. I don’t know the exact hp gain but ~50 was estimated on the OFT using a calculation.
The FRS BRZ is one of the most under appreciated car by "carguys" who aren't really "carguys". This car isn't about driving fast, it is about driving good and being rewarding for it.
Interesting conclusion. A lot of folks here in the UK have done a mild Ecotec tune with a new manifold, it gets rid of the dip, improves torque and adds around 12hp. Apparently it makes quite a difference to the stock car. I'm thinking about it...
Yeah you got it right on the end I’ve had a stock frs loved it and bought a stock brz after it got totaled I still have fun but definitely want more power
Love your content, just subbed. But little tip from a videographer. Not sure which Gimbal your using, seems like the ronin from the shake. I have had that shake, you need to adjust the settings in the app to reduce side to side shake and save your motors. Besides that the movements you guys do are incredible!
They say that it would ruin the weight and driveability of the vehicle, but it makes sense that it is a mod car OR a purist car. It's got the sensation of being like the Z4, the ol' 240SX or even 240Z, the car is meant to be a young persons driving experience with modability in mind. I think actually Scion tried this with the tC where they were like "Oh dude bro, LEDs and sound system, this is a young persons vehicle!"
I think some people forget the true nature of the gt86. It's like a blank piece of paper and the owner can create their masterpiece and express their vision through this car. So many directions and limitless possibilities.
Couldn't agree more!

Irish Identity I added the sti badges and immediately got 50hp
i love the gt86/brz/frs you can literally do ANYTHING to it wich i love
once im able to drive im dev gonna get a brz
You filmed yourself illegally crossing a double yellow line. Nice video though.
filmed me crossing the line.. :P
Optical illusion
It's legal in Mexico
Luxotica, they're not in Mexico though, so why are you bringing that up?
Seth Winters That comment was from 9 months ago, so why are you bringing it up?
i would not be surprised if you guys got a TV deal. Very high quality content.
this made me rethink about my car, I own an 08 v6 mustang and just like the 86 line it does not make near enough power, 210hp/240tq I understand the want for more power, granted since it is a v6 and a higher displacement motor there is a tiny bit of flexibility to add some more power but not much, yes part of the fun is not having all the power of a built car and being able to push your car and hear the engine and exhaust scream, hate on me or my car doesn't matter, real car enthusiasts respect and appreciate all cars
I have a 2015 sti that's pushing a little under 400 hp. I'm about to buy a brz cause it's a subie and it's a rwd car. I love my sti it's my daily but it's missing the fun factor a rwd has. It's a love hate relationship with how the car is so composed in turns. I need some "oh shit I'm skidding sideways" in my life.
my guess is that, given the hindsight of this video being 3 years old, they didn't want to sell supercharged or turbo versions because they knew they were going to bring the supra back and the boosted brz makes almost as much power as the new supra at half the price. i've always thought this car looked more like a supra than the actual new supra.
Great Video, The Stock 86 with Simple bolt ons is a great car. We like the addition of a Tune With E85. The power is just right for daily and more spirited driving.
Holy shit this has like the perfect scene especially when he pulled up with the brz😂😂😂 it kinda gave like a tokyo drift type theme with the buildings in the background. Loved it man❤️❤️
one thing i love about brz’s are the annoying straight pipe rumble. that is all i would want if i owned a brz
Great video as always guys, I like how you present this one it was well thought out and coordinated.
That "HI MOM" license plate...
Ridiculously good production quality. Keep it up guys! =)
Invidia N1 with catless test pipe, Tomei headers, Crawford intake manifold spacer, Tomei Uel catless headers and a OFT V2 91 tune with some adjustments for the spacer I made about ~50 more hp. I don’t know the exact hp gain but ~50 was estimated on the OFT using a calculation.
Good video I was waiting the whole time for a race tho
Just seein how this dude was walking, before he gets to the car I had to stop playing this video lol
Love your videos - wish you guys posted at 4K so we could see the beauty of these cars with a bit more clarity :) keep it up!
Krios :*( we wish we could. We don't have 4k @ 60fps options yet.
The FRS BRZ is one of the most under appreciated car by "carguys" who aren't really "carguys". This car isn't about driving fast, it is about driving good and being rewarding for it.
Great video, the front fenders on the BRZ look stunning.
thanks!
@86_DAN what fenders and wheels are the brz running?
That BRZ is beautiful!! Great video guys 👍
Ya'lls production value is incredible
Hey nice video! That brz looked great. I think these cars are a ton of fun.
Nice video. 2:49 favorite part lol. Dan's car definitely made me miss my Brz.
you can always buy another!
Interesting conclusion. A lot of folks here in the UK have done a mild Ecotec tune with a new manifold, it gets rid of the dip, improves torque and adds around 12hp. Apparently it makes quite a difference to the stock car. I'm thinking about it...
Yeah you got it right on the end I’ve had a stock frs loved it and bought a stock brz after it got totaled I still have fun but definitely want more power
One of the cleanest BRZs I've seen, I wouldn't add anything else on it.
Love your content, just subbed. But little tip from a videographer. Not sure which Gimbal your using, seems like the ronin from the shake. I have had that shake, you need to adjust the settings in the app to reduce side to side shake and save your motors. Besides that the movements you guys do are incredible!
They say that it would ruin the weight and driveability of the vehicle, but it makes sense that it is a mod car OR a purist car. It's got the sensation of being like the Z4, the ol' 240SX or even 240Z, the car is meant to be a young persons driving experience with modability in mind. I think actually Scion tried this with the tC where they were like "Oh dude bro, LEDs and sound system, this is a young persons vehicle!"
