I've watched almost every review possible, and it seems like the general consensus is that the car has plenty good power stock.
Usually with every car I throw on bolt on parts little by little and eventually get a tune because I always end up wanting more of an "oomf" factor from the car.
But with the GR86.. I think I might just focus on some suspension mods and a good set of sticky tires with wider wheels + catback exhaust and I think it'll be golden while being able to keep my manufacturer warranty and keeping my reliability (since the engine is a fair bit new)
Anyone else feel the same? Being that if there's no nasty rev hang like I have on my Civic Si I'll probably stray away from tuning a car for once in my life

The need for power mods always depends on what you want to do. someone wanting to do highway rolls will only be happy with an LS swap, someone wanting to track the car might favour reducing weight instead of increasing power, someone wanting to enjoy it as a road car might have enough power and instead go to intake/exhaust mods not for power but for a sound that pleases them more.
I've been daily driving my '17 for 4 and a half years, in sunshine, rain and snow and I enjoy spirited driving on the road, I don't think I've ran out of horsepower yet, but I did run out of tires pretty early on, so now I've got sticky Continentals. I've got a wing on the back and unfortunately that makes it a bit understeerish if I'm caning it through an interchange, so it sure could use a front splitter. TLDR: I'm trying to stick the car down on wider-than-stock ultra-high-performance rated summer tires, and I'm not really using all of the engine yet, because what I want to do with the car is stretch my face sideways.
