    This year there's a lot of 1st gens competing in the Stock and Street classes, making those events really fun to participate in!
This. I feel pretty confident with the FA24 reliability in the Ascent, but we'll still have to see how it pans out. I'll wait for the Performance Pack car, as I will not have another dual duty car without Brembos. The ease of changing pads in like 5 minutes is just so powerful.

Two more points that matter to me:

-How the 22+ BRZ/86 will be classed in SCCA TT?

If it remains in S6/T4 then it will basically break time trials for a year. It will be utterly dominant in both if it remains how the old one was classed.

-How will the 22+ BRZ/86 respond to basic mods?

If the future car takes to E85/headers as well as the current one does, and we can net 220 whp I'd be a very happy customer.
