I must say, the car has grown on me and doing some basic bolt-ons and a tune could make this car sweet.

Yeah, seems significant delays are very common now. I fear the early adopters hoping to get into their new twin in 2021 will be waiting until 2022 at best.

One would think that everyone is accustomed to delays and unavailability by now and plans for that. Last summer we had people walking into the shop saying, "I just sold my bike so I can order a new one. Will it be here next week?" The look on their faces when we said, "Maybe by September." I'm hearing this summer will be just as bad. I've already accepted that I won't get a new car until May '22 (but I was ECSTATIC to hear yesterday that my new DH bike ordered Sept '19 just arrived).

Literally waiting on one to come into a showroom that I can drive. If its all I remember it being (plus the new engine difference), then I will be ordering one with the performance package (as soon as that's available) and trading in my 2018 Mustang GT/6 speed for it. In black of course.

Either way, waiting until at least spring at this point. The Mustang is a summer and salt free weather car, so no point in getting it late in fall when I'm putting the Mustang away for the salty Michigan winter. The BRZ will be the same way until my winter beater bites the dust then I'll see how I feel.

The whole winter beater situation is very long story so I'll save it unless anyone really want to hear the saga.

The machine becomes weightless. Just disappears. And all that's left is a body moving through space and time. 7,000 RPM. That's where you meet it. You feel it coming. It creeps up on you, close in your ear. Asks you a question. The only question that matters. Who are you?
