Spot on, though I suspect we'll see higher output variants later on with there being rumors of a BRZ STi. It wouldn't surprise me if there were turbo versions developed alongside the naturally aspirated models with the marketing department deciding the release dates of each to help sales of the NA models.

Road & Track had a brief article about swapping out the stock tires for some Dunlap Direzza Z1's and said it made a world of difference.
