86 GR: 1'18"40
BRZ Sti sport: 1'20"54
With what rear tire size which affects overall times?

I concur. It's hideous from every angle.

Those front auxiliary lights are an abomination.

The rear has the "droopy butt syndrome" which is all the rage these days.

And the profile has the CUV floating-roof design.

86 GR has a staggered setup like Alpine. Rear is 235.

I knew it, just want you to write it here!
That;s why it has better times than tS which is more road focused rather track oriented!

These videos make think for price of these other cars you just get two BRZs. One for DD and road fun and one for the track. Pending mods you do, it would be cheaper too. Definitively in the maintenance department. Agree with above I would take a cayman over the alpine, but it’s a nice car.
