Fr-s/ Brz. > 370z?

Flaguy · 07-03-2012, 01:11 PM

Why is everyone ragging on the power of this? Subaru has already announced a turbo-charged top of the line BR-Z is coming out next year. Ya'll are ragging on a base model and just might eat your words when that one comes out.

And to be perfectly honest, i can see myself trading in the Z for a factory turbo-charged varient of the BR-Z.

Really, where did you read this? I haven't seen this anywhere. Link to the article?

I stand corrected. It's getting an Sti variant (50hp and suspension upgrades) that is NOT turbo-charged. WTF? I give that 2 years....

Yeah that's what I read. Intake/exhaust mods, raising redline to 7500, and messing with the variable valve control system should give it that 50 hp bump.

Wow! I was actually very interested in the STI version until now... Can't imagine how much they're gonna try and mark it up when it debuts.

Here's hoping Toyota picks up the slack.

I don't think Toyota is doing anything similar to the FR-S.

The price will probably hit over $30k at that point... might as well just stick with the tried & true WRX Sti. This car should really start in the low $20k. It would be a smart move for Toyota to add a FI variant, not so much for Subaru which will potentially eat sales of the WRX.
