I work for a German company so know the original 634 was probably a conservative number.

Drove the last ride in my GT86 through the Black Forest tonight

What a great car. 3 years and 38,000 km of ownership. It was a great experience. Always fun, and if not at least special, even as a daily car.
I was afraid of the first winter, but it is even more fun.
The behavior in deep snow is really impressive. Give you so much confidence, that I often drove with ESP OFF in those conditions.

I would recommend this car to anyone wanting to have fun on twisty roads, while taking the kids to school or going back from work.

Time for the next chapter...

Apex wheels (Arc-8 17x9 ET42) and 245/40/17 GT Radial Champiro SX2 tires (spec tire for 86Drive Challenge).

Need to dial in ride height a bit (already on Annex Fastroad Pro coilovers) but very happy with the fitment so far.

Installed the winter shoes.
Quite pleased with the look of the PP wheels on the GR.

It is/was proposed as an option/accessory in the configurator in Germany.
So no special effort from my side apart from ticking the appropriate box.

Installed a Nameless Performance Axleback exhaust (w/ optional mufflers). Happy with it so far, pretty much what I was expecting.

Really appreciate the video. Sounds good. Would you say its more mild than loud?

Finally installed my billetworkz short shifter. Did everything from inside the cabin. Moved boot off/on with my fingers.

Oops. Wrong thread.

I definitely wouldn’t call it mild but it is not super loud. Certainly louder than something like Invida Q300 and I imagine louder than HKS Legamax. It honestly might be a little loud for daily usage but we’ll see over time.

You should add this to the 2nd Gen Exhaust Thread on the BRZ Specific Forum..

"Where we're going, we don't need roads."

At first I thought you had it sitting on the wheels.

Sounds awesome.
