Is the new Toybaru going to be competitive in CS?

I read on another forum Jadrice Toussaint (last years BS national champ) drove someone's BRZ at an event and ended up getting an FR-S the next week. He autocrossed it a couple weeks ago on Hoosiers in an event along with his BS S2000. I guess the car he had was an automatic and he was about 2.5s slower than his BS S2000, but now he has a manual FR-S.

He ran a staggered setup with 245/40/17 on the front and 275/40/17 in the rear. I don't think a staggered setup is going to really be ideal for he car imho, but he was just testing things out. 275/40 gives the car a bit more gearing in 2nd but it's quite a bit taller and I don't know if I'd want to give away that much in a car with such low torque.
