Being a die hard toyota fan, I really hope that the performance package or some sort can be offered. I plan on picking up the 17MY 86 so I can get back into autocrossing, but might be forced to get the BRZ if toyota doesn't have what I want.
Do not trust any rumours from car blogs or sites. Unless they are official press releases from Toyota they are very probably pure speculation or outright fiction. Even the once reliable sources seem to have fallen into the click bait trade and will draw their info from the most unreliable sources. One site (frequently motoring.au) will make something up based on distorted quotes or some unnamed "inside source" and then the rest will just keep adding their own spin to it until we are being told the most bizarre things.
Keep in mind that there is very good aftermarket support and things like BBKs are already proven and available.
