Most of the drivetrain is already fully capable of handling the power. It’s a parts bin car and the rear differential, for instance, is from the Lexus IS.

Yes manufacturers have higher safety/engineering factors to bake into their designs, but the aftermarket has shown that the reliable limits of the existing design is…

If they hold the line I won’t complain.

Ah yes, maybe it’s there then.  Sadly that’s too small if someone wants to track theirs.  But, AFAIK the 1st gen has no cooler.  So something is better than nothing.

Hope so!

I could be mistaken, but isn’t that just the oil filter?

True, power under the curve is more important than peak numbers. I shouldn’t dismiss that out of hand. But You already know they’re going to charge way too much money for this...

Yup, dead ringer.  Been seeing that comparison in my head ever since the “renderings” came out.  Le sigh.

Have you even paid attention the current BRZ?  The Performance Package Brembo brakes are quite oversized and perfectly matched for over 300 hp.

I don’t mind lag.  It’s a feature/characteristic.  But only when things go crazy when the boost hits.

I hear you, but to which I reply “so f’ing what?  That’s an overweight auto only luxo coupe”

Cool, charge less money for it then.

Starting around late spring I’ll be in the market for a new sports car (regrettably the engine in my current steed died 2 weekends ago on track). If this car’s new design and performance ticked all the right boxes for me I would consider waiting even longer until this car is available.

Or we could just stop using dirty polluting direct injection engines.

Fuck that, unless they take our standards. Those loonies across the pond jumped the shark years ago. Hell to the no.

Reuse it with the next gen reactor plants. There are many uses for spent fuel rods before they’re trying just waste.

Nothing will get done.  Trump said the same thing.  Apparently the anti-nuke lobby/social movement is too big for presidents to overcome.  Thanks Sierra Club and Jerry Brown.

Let us know how much fun it is to modify your vehicle and keep it legal.

Its my understanding that he stated that to just show the mentality that went into each car’s ethos.

And right after that they jumped the shark.

You can summarize your above paragraph with one simple statement:
