1) yes they will offer lip kits either from the start or very soon, as they do that for all scion models (spoilers too I guess ). I would recommend you wait for the 5axis lip kit (they always make one) and other aftermarket ones to come out, but that's up to you.

2) learn to drive a stick now. Trust me, you wouldn't want to be learning on your first new car...

3) Sorry to break it to you, but the paddle shifters will be a gimic to sell it exactly those people the others grouped you up with above. It won't be be an automanual, but an automatic with shifting capabilities. Sure it might fool someone into thinking it looks race-like, but that's all it would do. Not to mention that according to rumors it will be slower as well. Sorry, I said I won't do it, but I felt like you should know

4) You don't have to go to a full blown track to race. There are alternatives, like autocross and such that are easier on your pocket.
Yeah I figured it probably wouldn't have some gtr transmission in it. Ill just learn Sunday maybe and save me the emberassment. Im not one for spoilers, I actually like what bye and infinity do with the trunks now.
I just can't wait long to get the car once it is out, my CTS is costing me 2k+ a year to keep running and I think the transmission is next.
