I have to say the craziest thing is that noone seems to know what kind of diff the 2.0 has. I just watched 4 different reviews on it and half said it was an open diff and the other half said it was a traditional mechanical LSD. Even Toyota's website doesnt tell us what it has, it just shows that it doesnt have the E-LSD.you guys are trying to make the decision difficult....... i like the BRZ/FR-S but have never driven one. The basic rep. is "fun" which would give the 2.0 Supra some cred.....i have seen some reviews that basically say if the 2.0 had a manual/LSD, the choice would have no doubt been the 2.0 instead of the 3.0. Still think the preference is the 3.0 for the power but a test drive of the two will make the final call.
Here's my 2cents (again i guess). If you plan on having this as a weekend fun car for some backroad carving and maybe plan on doing a little bit of modding, i'd say get the 2.0. 255ish odd hp is perfect for backroad drives. The single piston brakes will give you way more wheel choices than the 3.0 would since you wouldnt have to clear a sset of Brembo's and you arent losing anything by going to coilovers.
However if you plan on either tracking the car and really want to nail fast times. Or if you want a really good GT car and dont plan on modding much, then get the 3.0. The amount of stuff the 3.0 comes with basically makes up for the stuff you would mod the 2.0 with without having to spend the extra labor costs and research involved.
At the end of the day you really cant go wrong with either.
