Thanks! It's a core with all three packages (perf, tech, and cold weather [don't care for this]) and some accessories. Still haven't reached break in miles yet, can't wait until I do and replace the fluids. Really curious on how much faster it'll be than my R32.

I'm curious to hear as well. I was literally in shock at how fast this thing is, how it rips around corners. And mine is the pitiful non-PP version. And I put it to the test on winter tires! (That CW package was my only must have.)

Even tho I'm barely giving it any throttle and limit the rpm to 4k max, I can already tell there's more low end power/torque on the GRC than the R32. Very surprising since its one whole literally smaller.

Ha, I thought the same thing and we’re barely touching the power at 4K.

What wheels did you put on it right away?

[fredzy]

Enkei TS10, 18x8.5 +35. I needed to get the PS4's off ASAP as summer tires don't cut it for a second here this time of year.

If I could do-over I would have got these wheels in +25 and put the summer tires on them instead. So far I love this look over the all black stock wheels. I'll see if the stock wheels grow on me, else I can swap the wheels/tires. The track will be 10mm narrower but the flat face makes it look wider vs. the stock's concave

Did you remove the rear spacer?

I'm looking at 18x9, ET20-ish wheels (most likely Work CR2P) since I believe those specs will work for both the R32 and GRC, so I can switch wheels when I get bored with how the cars look.

Oh man that's a good idea! I considered re-using my one wheel set from the WRX for winter wheels but the center bore was too small and anyhow the offset is like ET48 so would have just been wrong.

I left the spacers

[jflogerzi]

Honestly if these were available near MSRP I would consider it and replace the truck and Race car potentially

Yeah, that would have been pretty sunken in.

The design of those wheels fit the car pretty nicely!

The latest announcement is basically a COA statement by Toyota. Demand is exactly as expected (or close to it). What has forced their hand here is the complete clusterf*ck that has been the model roll out. Delay after delay. World's largest automaker can't seem to manage building a few thousand hatchbacks.

Overall good news though, as it all but confirms that I'll be able to get a Circuit. Still, would be super great if, oh I dunno, I could specify which color I want instead of being told to be happy with what they decide to give (offer to sell) me

You don't see Porsche, Ferrari, or anyone else pulling that level of BS...

I've been slowly coming around on a similar feeling.

I love my BRZ and it's been practical for me but sometimes I wish I had a hatch that's just as sporty if not better.
