once again, knocked off all rivals including the new BRZ & 86:

From another post:


Out of 18 cars, the 86 came 10th and the BRZ came 8th. The winner was the defending champ, the Polo Gti. The Skoda Fabia RS came second and the Renault Megane RS 265 came third.

Before we all get our manties in a knot though, BFYB is a much more scientific than a lot of other car comparisons. Most of it is geared towards the 'bang' with the bang criteria as follows:

0-100 = 10 %
100 km/h - 0 =10%
0-400m =10%
400m v-max = 5%
Hill climb = 10%
80-120km/h = 5%
Lap Time = 20%
Apex speeds = 10%
Lap v-max =5%
Judges rank = 15%

Guess who got the 1st and 2nd spots (conclusively) on the judges criteria? Yup, the 86, closely followed by the BRZ.

The 'buck' (ie. retail cost) is then factored in to give an overall BFYB score.

Interesting points to note were that they slightly preferred the 86 to the BRZ but said that it's really splitting hairs - both are great cars. They also commented that the tyres let the cars down on the track and they have durable enough brakes , they performed very poorly in the 100 - 0 test (lowest scores).

They also performed 0-100 times in 6.90 and 6.93 for the 86 and BRZ respectively. Not bad
