Nice looking BRZ (I admit I have never seen one in that colour except on the GT86) I am sure you will enjoy it and would be curious to hear how it goes with you in the long term.
also did you get the manual version or the automatic?
**EDIT**
I am guessing the 6MT at the top means 6 manual transmission oops haha (if it is so thats the what I would have chosen)

Nice car and congratulations! My brother and I are getting one for the summer and splitting the finance payments. I am surprised that these are only getting popular now.

for now its going to stay stock but i could see coilovers going on it in less than 2 months. ive added up all the things i want to do to this car and it came out to over $29k lol so alot of the things i want to do wont happen but a quick list of stuff would be
fortune auto coilovers gramlight 57 extremes 18x9.5 +22 on 255s square revworks unequal length headers nameless header back exhaust 5axis/stivo duckbill spoiler STI front lip JPM coachworks alcantara shift boot/parking brake boot and steering wheel avo turbo world or full blown turbo. 300-350 whp goal
but for now im just going to drive around in stock form and enjoy driving it

Can't say I'm not jealous. I have other non-car expensive hobbies so I have a boring commuter car and put all my car enthusiasm into Forza.

Nice. Are you going to mod it any? Body, performance? (nevermind just read your coming soon list)
No wonder you were so fast in that thing qualifying!

So i went to a local tuning shop today and had my car on the dyno, was a little disappointed but this dyno does read a little low. Ill have a full exhaust coming in soon that should get rid of the torque dip and give me some more power and once i have that ill get the car tuned

No expert but from what I know that is not the true horse power of your car, but the power at the wheel and there is so much power lost between the engine, the transmission and drivetrain (thats from what I know from watching too much youtube).
Not sure what power figures your BRZ actually has but it would be higher than it suggest (me guessing I would say it is around the 180hp mark)
never the less would be interesting to see the power gains you get when you fit a new exhaust system to your car.

Wheel horse power is the only horsepower that matters.

If things move as planned with businesses....maybe one day. For now it is out of my league...I could sell my house, buy the car and live in an apartment. (thinking) nahhhh.
