It would be for sure a quite tail happy option in non-well maintained and slippery backroads, but quite inappropriate for most drivers. I am sure legal departments would make great fun with suggestions as the above. |

A staggered tire setup makes zero sense for the stock BRZ/86, given 55F/45R weight distribution and 13 lb/hp. No good reason for wider rears. |

GR Racing Announcement: 4-5-2021
Quote:
Crease across the fender tops and through the door handles? Gone. Replaced with generic flank surfacing copied from current Benzes. Hofmeister kink? Gone. Replaced with corner window form a 5 year old Hyundai. The SUBTLE M-power bump on the hood? Started on the E46 and has been there since. Gone. Replaced by the hood off a 2012 Dodge Charger. Distinctive tail lights that immediately identify a BMW? Gone. Some Lexus units will do. Subtle but noticeable wheel arches bulging out, wrapping around the tire? Nope we’ll make the wheels look sunken in and small instead. Slightly raised trunk from the E30 M3 and the slightly notched-up roofline that leads up to it? Nah the current mustang profile works too. Not even going to address the kidneys. In fact, they’re the only thing that even call back to ANY of BMW’s styling. The M4 is one of the most generic car designs I’ve ever seen. It has no personality at all, except for the ridiculous buck teeth. It’s not even that ugly, it’s much worse than that. It’s boring. Edit: wow, sorry. Rant over I guess. |

GR86 front 215/45R17 rear 235/45R17 GR86 best lap time 1'18"40 BRZ STI sport front and rear 215/40R18 BRZ STI sport best lap time 1'20"54 Both cars on Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires. I believe Gazoo Racing didn't do the same on the new GR86 car mainly for cost reasons. |

I never got hugely different overall handling characteristics running different stagger setups on S2000, LS3 FD RX-7, or 987.2 Cayman. Noticeable, yes, but nothing major, less of a factor than getting camber and toe settings right. And lap times were affected by tenths of a second, nothing like 2 whole seconds! Quote:

It seems like they put a lot of effort and money into this car. Not just running a half camo'd thing around town like they did with the 17 refresh. I think we can have high expectations as it appears that they have high expectations.

That just goes to my point that it just looks like its trying to look like something else. If I want an F-Type I'd buy an F-Type (which I love by the way). I don't want a poser F-Type.

Buy used and mod?

Not everyone has the desire to buy used or the ability to mod. Many bought a new Opel GT since they couldn't afford (or want to spend for) a new vette. I would have been one of them but I bought a new 1973 Capri since it was more practical for me at the time. Still wish I would have bought the Opel GT instead. |
