This is still the initial release. Seems like they were saying more specs to come. If it doesn't have all of the extra bushings it seems a little pointless to just not do it yourself. Looking forward to a price as well.

Yeap this. The GT package was only offered on the 13 tS and was more track oriented. The 15 tS was toned down a bit to make it more street focused

Whew! Just got caught up all the way on this thread.
1. Gearing down helps on the freeway, but I can only gear down so far. And it's still fairly... eh. Sure it's world's better than a 90s Geo... but I wouldn't be happy with that car's performance, either, so... 2. When gearing down, I go straight from 6th to 3rd, sometimes even second if I'm going slow enough. The only time I step down is if I misjudged what the rpms would be upon letting back out on the clutch. Like going down to 4th only to realize I had enough room to kick it in to 3rd. 3. The tS is the PP with a wing and some extra stuff. I... don't really care about it. |

If you are driving at such low revs and speed in 6th that you can safely shift into 2nd then no wonder you think the car has no power. Right gear for the right speed.

I used to drive very large army trucks and people would almost hit me all the time. The size of the vehicle has little to do with people not paying attention. Either that or the camo on them was far more effective on the highway then it was in the field.

Not sure if this has been posted:
" June 8, 2017 SUBARU DEBUTS LIMITED EDITION WRX STI TYPE RA and BRZ tS® WITH HIGHER PERFORMANCE FOR DRIVING ENTHUSIASTS Cherry Hill, N.J. - Subaru of America, Inc. has announced two new performance models: the 2018 Subaru WRX STI Type RA and 2018 Subaru BRZ tS. Both are performance focused derivatives engineered by Subaru Tecnica International, Inc. specifically for driving enthusiasts. Each vehicle is limited to 500 units and vehicles will arrive at Subaru retailers in early 2018. --- BRZ tS The 2018 BRZ tS (tuned by STI) delivers the highest level of “fun to drive” and “pure handling delight” through greater flexibility, better control and stability. BRZ is renowned for its ultra-low center of gravity and precision handling, and the new BRZ tS adds STI-tuned front and rear SACHS® dampers and coil springs as well as flexible V-braces in the engine compartment. New draw stiffeners are added to the chassis and sub-frame to improve steering response. The BRZ tS is also equipped with 18-in. lightweight STI wheels (the first time that a BRZ has been offered with 18-inch wheels) mounted with 215/40 R 18 Michelin Pilot® Sport 4 tires for superior grip and quicker turn-in. Brembo® brakes at all four corners round-out the package. The exterior also adds a more aggressive look with an exclusive STI rear carbon fiber spoiler. The spoiler is manually adjustable to fine-tune rear downforce. The addition of STI front, rear and side underspoilers helps control airflow for better traction and stability. The BRZ tS is also adorned with an exclusive Cherry Blossom Red accent around the front grille and unique rear bumper cover. The rear hatch displays the official BRZ tS badge. The exterior foldable mirrors, roof-mounted shark fin antenna, BRZ and SUBARU badging all have a black finish. Also, the fog lights have been removed and replaced with STI fog light covers. The cabin features black leather and Alcantara® upholstery with contrasting red stitching and accents throughout the interior, including steering wheel, door and dash panels, knee pads, shifter and emergency brake boots. front seats have red leather bolsters and the seatbacks are embroidered with the tS logo. The visor over the gauge cluster is unique to this model, as is the interior door trim. The center console has been updated to a cast black finish. The BRZ tS also comes standard with red front seat belts and a frameless interior rear view mirror. Both the 2018 WRX STI Type RA and BRZ tS will be available in WR Blue Pearl, Crystal Black Silica and Crystal White Pearl. Both models will be distributed throughout Subaru’s retailer network beginning in the first quarter of 2018. Exact specifications and pricing will be announced later this year." |
