Quote:

Subaru has announced plans to campaign the BRZ in Japan's Super GT series. Using the experience gained from racing the Legacy B4 in the GT300 class, the BRZ should be ready to race for the 2012 season. Subaru didn't release any details on the new race car aside from this drawing, but they plan to show more at Tokyo Auto Salon in January.

This probably means there will be a souped up STi version... I hope. :tup:

Red__Zed 11-16-2011 09:14 AM

I'm torn about whether that's a good thing. I can't afford another car now :p

Well, I would bet a STi version will not be here until 2013 probably. Giving the first option a year to sell, then get all the first gen buyers to upgrade.

BS. If you move back to VA you will be able to afford 4-5 more.

Maybe they will with the Nismo RC, but I doubt it since that setup they just want to sell.

i read that the FRS base price is $28K? :icon14: is that right? wat happened to the $22K or watever they were originally targeting? these cars need to be cheap to be fun. $28K + $10K in bits is like 370Z territory... at $38K i would buy something else probabaly.

The only position I have open right now is for a paid internship. $9-$11/hr, should be enough to buy an STS turbo kit.

Rui Z 11-16-2011 10:22 AM

Alot of their numbers (weight hp mpg) dont match the catalog numbers, so they are most likely off on the price as well. Edmunds.com tends to be more accurate with numbers.

Highly doubtful it will be 2500lbs or under in the US version. Anemic 200hp for an AWD.

Mr&Mrs 11-16-2011 11:20 AM

I can not wait for these to hit the lots, I will be in line for a test drive. Now I just need to make my wife drive MT because I will not buy another AT in a car I plan to modify and get screwed like I did with the Z.

Well all the numbers are coming from pictures from brochures people are finding in Japan, then converting price, weight, etc. Issue with this is that the US requires other emission equipment not needed in the US but Japan also might get better pricing or something.

Jordo! 11-16-2011 11:46 AM

Just under 2700 lbs (a bit more for bells and whistles variant, bit less for stripped down "track only" model), 200 ps (197 bhp?)/151 lbft

ECU will be reflashable... no definitive word yet on whether there will be a factory (i.e., TRD) blower option, but signs point to no, at least not right away.

Looks good, and will handle and brake beautifully, but IMO needs about 50-75 more bhp/tq, or at least a plug and play option to to make that so... :(

Ya, but the Motor Trend article states 170 lbft of torque when most others have said ~150. Also there high end mpg estimate is 27 mpg city, which would be the same as a Honda Fit. I highly doubt a 200 hp sporty car is gonna get near the same mpg as a Honda Fit. Sorry, but I'm gonna believe brochures more than Motor Trend. And Motor Trends price estimates seems way off from everything that has been rumored previously.

Well, MT and other magazine/websites are quoting the early info they all got access to. Things have changed of course so they are all just assuming things at this point.

Nevermind. I get confused with BRZ and FRS. The BRZ may very well be 28K. The FRS is the price I was thinking about.

kenchan 11-16-2011 03:03 PM

i dont like the wheels on that thing (looks too subaru rally dorky look) but with a nice rounded 5 or 7 spoke it should turn out nicely. :D

Looking closer at those pictures, the lines and curves look very... Gumpert like. I wonder if it can drive upside down. :eekdance:

I believe so. If not, then it should be very close to it.
