It's all sound BS to me.
Here are few reasons why: 1. There's already a "S" model (in Japan) 2. Intake will bump up 20~30hp? Yeah, not happening 3. Free flow exhaust? Again, not happening 4. Raise the redline to 7,500 rpm? Not happening, unless they wanna drop more tq Seriously, whoever wrote that need to do better lie than that |

The BRZ S is basically a BRZ with the full JDM STI accessories catalog installed. It is NOT the official STI car. Yes, you can "technically" get one in the states by just importing the parts in .

Official press release from Subaru Australia
Thanks for your patience and at last we’re delighted to update you on STI accessories for BRZ. As from late June 2013 Subaru Australia will have limited availability of a special “S-Pack” option of factory-backed STI accessories for BRZ which includes a wide variety of style enhancements – for details see the photos and pricing below. This information will be loaded onto our website shortly . As you know, demand is huge internationally for all things BRZ, so our Australian allocation of these items will be limited in the first few months. So until STI in Japan can make more of these items available, the following will apply: Initially we will make the S-Pack available as a bundle only – i.e. the S-Pack accessories (other than the rear diffuser) will not be available for purchase as individual items for the foreseeable future. The S-Pack will initially only be available for fitment on “new” BRZs yet to be delivered from our compounds (as at the date of this email). Please contact me directly asap on brzcoordinator@subaru.com.au if your vehicle is still in our compound and you are interested in purchasing an S-Pack for your BRZ. Following these orders (and subject to availability), we will next offer the S-Pack to owners of BRZs in transit or awaiting collection at Subaru Retailers. Please ask your Retailer to contact me asap quoting your VIN or BRZ number if your BRZ falls into this category and you wish to purchase an S-Pack. For BRZs not in the above categories (ie already delivered), please register your interest in purchasing an S-Pack with your local Subaru Retailer, who has already been advised of the above process. Depending upon demand, we expect to be in a position to begin filling S-Pack orders for already delivered BRZ’s around August / September 2013 at the earliest. The S-Pack for manual transmission will be $7,995 (fitted), while the automatic transmission S-Pack will be $7,195 (fitted). |

Still the kit is nice, but the real question here is are they saving any money by bundling the kit, just wondering?

Hm... that's a hard question. It's all up to area you live. Some places, you can get those parts bought & installed cheaper than just buying BRZ that comes with it.
