I now have a VIN and a scheduled build date of 3/12 with an estimated arrival in March. It also has a "Current Location" of 200012, which is pretty funny since it apparently doesn't exist quite yet.
Honestly, I have mixed feelings... I really would have preferred a GR86 with performance pack, but there is no way I can justify $5000-$6000 of either markup or added junk.
I track my car with minimal mods (tires, fluids, pads, camber bolts) about 20 days/year and I am nervous about the spring rate/sway bar/handling differences of a brz vs GR86. I hate understeer, and supposedly the brz is more tuned for that?

Maybe not what you want to hear but you could wait until the tS arrives and you get an idea of how Subaru tuned the suspension for that specific trim?
If it still understeers a simple sway bar change could get you exactly where you want to be while still avoiding the Toyota dealer mark ups.
