BRZ ts (yes I know its not a FR-S)

So at first I thought this might be april fools stuff but it was posted at 2 news outlets and after a day no mention of april fools.

Yes I know its a BRZ but it is still news about special versions of our car.

Automobile Magazine: http://www.automobilemag.com/reviews...by-sti-driven/

MotorTrend: http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...s_first_drive/

To sum it up:
The moniker is still being debated for use in America, but in Japan, tS meant a BRZ that received a long list of hardware tweaks that read like standard tuner upgrades, including a cat-back exhaust, carbon-fiber rear spoiler, front chin spoiler, and 18-inch Enkei alloy wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport tires. Brakes were upgraded to larger-diameter rotors and four-piston front and two-piston rear calipers, all by Brembo but branded STI. Also branded STI: a whole bunch of interior upgrades, including aluminum sill plates, a red ignition button, Recaro sport seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a special shift knob.
