Subaru powered Toyota FT-86 Concept

Jordo!

I REALLY wanted this car (and maybe still do...), but for me the quandry is the substantial difference in power.

Now, if TRD offers some sort of blower for the car then I'd be interested again. Otherwise, I'd get this as a second car if in the budget, but not a replacement.

I deeply miss having a lightweight, tossable car, but to go back to a vehicle that needs A LOT of aftermarket support to get out of it's own way... ugh... just can't go through that again.

The two big X factors are:

1. No one in the aftermarket seems to have a very good grasp on tuning a DI motor (yes, it will also have port injection, but not clear whether or not it will be easy to just modify that as a work around).

and

2. newer Toyota ECU's are notoriously tuner unfriendly... that might not matter if it's a Subie ECU (Cobb?), but all unknown at this point.

And of course, not sure I want to light my warranty on fire (and possibly blow the motor) in the struggle to make the car fast in the straights as well as the corners...
