300hp stock. Similar (if not same) drivetrain/powerplant as the Yaris GR I think. I believe it's set to compete against the Golf R and Civic Type R. It's making me reconsider my plans for an Audi A4 Allroad.
Premium (base) trim with OEM 18" wheels from the limited trim. Lowered 1" on MCS coilovers, RacerX rear UCA, MCA Suspension 86 Traction Mod, OS Giken 4.3 LSD, AP Racing CP9660 Radi-CAL front calipers, -3.6/-2.7 camber. Just needs aftermarket 18" wheels that will accomadate 255 width tires and I am done.

so about 6 months. You did a lot of great work - it must be a blast to drive.
I ordered one about 5 weeks ago. I wanted silver, but I’m told the factory is really backed up that a silver won’t be coming until 2023. They have my name on a blue one that should be here early fall.
Most of the mods transferred from my 2017 Series.Yellow, so it was one weekend of wrenching to put the yellow BRZ back to stock and another weekend to move the mods to the red BRZ. The only thing I had to purchase was the Radi-CAL BBK and OEM 18" wheels.

Nice. We'll see how long it takes for mine to arrive...
That looks fantastic but more importantly seems like an absolutely fantastic handling setup. I drove the new Supra for a few days and liked it but came away thinking that even that is really just too fast to fully exploit on public roads. Then yesterday I was in traffic beside what looked exactly like your car and thought...maybe that's the right solution? You can really cane it and not be a homicidal idiot.

Exactly like that! I switched from GR Supra, red, into GR 86, red, of course
Daily drove GR Supra for 13 months including all the winter misery in Toronto. Phenomenal car, coming out of a 981 GT4 just before getting into GR Supra, I can attest to that.
Stock set up on Mosport - leans a lot more than GT4, but when you get used to that she is just glued to the track. Amount of grip on stock Michelin PSS with stock -2 negative camber on all 4 corners - impressive.
Tire wear - minimal and more importantly shoulder roll - nonexistent. They figured out dynamic geometry for sure. And that was a few days on big track with JRP... FUUUUUN
The rest, basically, got bored with her as GR Supra is useless in daily driving. I am old enough and there so much low end torque that basically all you need is a half a second of pedal half way down to the metal and you are arrested for reckless driving 50 km over speed limit in any possible situation. 40 limit or 110 limit roads, regardless, You just need to be the unlucky one. And yes, GR Supra drives attention where ever you go.
So, now enjoying the 86 platform reborn in its GR86 body. They NAILED IT this time. I will take courage to say - 86 is a better track day / HPDE driver's car for 99% to 99.9% of mere mortals than the GR Supra.
Can't wait to get her to Mosport. Should be comparable power / torque wise to 944T, that I used to track there extensively, and should be much better handling.
Lastly, I know, show photo or it didn't happen... LOL, photo coming soon....
Nice. We'll see how long it takes for mine to arrive...
I ordered an auto in silver. Got a call last week that if I want it this year I will have to take the blue. Silver would take until the 2023 calendar year.
I can’t recall the country where Subaru produces the twins, but they are obviously experiencing supply chain issues still. Not sure why the blue is more available than the silver, but Oh Well.
