How many people on this thread so far have said they'll replace the STI pink springs with.. I don't know.. RCE Yellows?

Bad example but explains it well enough, I think.

Performance package is a bargain. 1200 for brembos and sachs dampers? I mainly got the performance package for the brembos.

tS is a different animal. It's $5000 more MSRP. For someone who paid well below MSRP on a PP, people could have anywhere from 6-9k more to spend on a PP than a tS.

Someone could fit more power in there, better suspension/wheels, or even expensive aero or widebody.

When the argument was that we couldn't have a boosted BRZ because the price would go up too high, yet we see a BRZ as the same price of a Base STI, it's hard to believe how many people are purchasing it.

don't get me wrong, the purchase is good. I want the 86 platform to continue.

Everyone spends their money differently, I'm just not one to buy a factory BRZ with even better handling for another 6-9k.
