So glad they are not going the force induction rout!

250 NA with a slight weight reduction would be perfect for my intended purposes...
hope they release it next year and not at the mid-cycle refresh. |
Sweet, I was hoping to hear something like this. That means almost all of that power can be accomplished in the aftermarket. I knew there was some N/A potential left in this motor without building it. Means we should get some nice gains from a good intake and exhaust.

I/H/E/tune on a 2.0L, you might, might get 20hp tops. but dont count on it. The car is pretty well optimized at 200, any gains will be expensive and require mods that are generally best done by the factory. |

There is no reason for them to rush this. The current spec car is selling like hot cakes in Japan and is about to in the rest of the world.

It's crazy that they're leaking this info this early before the base model is released! Won't have to wait as long as I expected. No FI means less rapid heating/cooling (reliability)... always good for the head gaskets.

this makes me happy
|
It makes much more sense, BRZ is the NA, lightweight, rwd coupe and the WRX will be the awd turbo monster
|
This would almost make it a Cayman. And I'm sure, as much as I'd like one, it'd be too expensive for me. At least the cost of an WRX STI.
I've had a hunch from the beginning though and looking at the dynos so far, that there is some breathing room up top. I think (and hope) we'll be surprised on what a few mods and a tune will do. |

The fact that all of these people in official capacity for Subaru are already talking about higher performance versions, coupled with Toyota saying they want to release a different variant every year, makes me also believe this "BRZ STi" will show up sooner rather than later. |
