Theres a good thread on ft86club.com with some recently 'leaked' information that seems to be more accurate then whatever else has been floating about recently. Can't see there being much difference with the BRZ other then a few cosmetic changes and options so the numbers should be pretty close. Weight is closer to 1220+ kg. 1190 kg with no AC, no speakers, 16 steelies, etc. Of course all the information going around should be taken with a grain of salt. They should be releasing solid information on the final production models in a few weeks time at the Toyko Motorshow.
Key points recently leaked and shamelessly stolen from ft86club website...

I don't think Subaru has even confirmed they are going to be selling them in Australia yet, let alone some 'STI' variant. You'd think in a few model years they might release an 'STI' spec but doubtful at launch. You'd also think they wouldn't push it into WRX performance / price as they would just be make a competitor for themselves.
Depending who your source is the price varies from mid 30s to high 40s for the Toyota version. Some people have emailed Toyota marketing in Australia but numbers seem to be complete balonoy. High spec? low spec? povo spec? No idea.
If you watch any of the interviews with the lead designers they have said a few interesting things 1) no turbo version planned, 2) same engine mounts so can put a EJ2* in pretty easily, 3) focused on low CoG / handling FEEL.
