I'd be thrilled if the BRZ had a 270-300hp FA24 turbo but I doubt it will. I expect it to be NA for reasons of liability, weight, and so it doesn't encroach on STI sales. But mostly cost. It would...

If the 215 tire GR car lapped Tsukuba faster than the 235 tire 14R60, it's counter-intuitive that TRD selected wider 265s for the Griffon 86 to set a Tsukuba record. Especially if all that friction...
