In both cases, I could tell no real difference, and the car seems to have survived it.

I mean, putting in 87 isn't a valve recall situation after all.

I mean, would I put in 87 and then go thrashing it at a track? No, but could I put 87 and finish the last leg of a road trip? I wouldn't think twice about it.

Do I expect it to run at optimal levels? No, just like I would expect it run less optimally if I was stuck in gridlock traffic in 100+ degree weather in altitude.

I start to like it but still not a fan of the headlights.

Love the STI fender and Wing!

The wing is to die for, the front bumper is vomit inducing.

Put that wing on the GR86 and oh man.

Those photos above with some optional accessories...are not great. Make it look way too cluttered.

Why no this Subaru & Toyota?

Since the 86 was just revealed, I have to admit this time I'd gravitate more towards the brz.

The lower fascia fits more with the headlights and I'm not a fan of the colored interior and black wheels and mirrors of the 86. I was expecting a larger difference in headlight desing and maybe different dash graphics, but the brz boot animation is less annoying than the spinning 86 logo.

The only real STI car you got in US was the S209. Meaning a car that was taken out of the ordinary production line and finished in their STI garage with changes that could make a real difference. The above parts are merely for the looks and they would not make much of an improvement in a small race track or under legal highway speeds.

^ Don't Subaru's marketing bees realize that the BRZ has a potentially massive English speaking (1st or 2nd language) market? They can't spend a few hundred dollars to put English subtitles on their videos?
