K, there's Japanese website that talk about FT-86 and had really interesting stuff.
I just gonna cut it out one paragraph out of the article:
" スバル製2.0リッター・ボクサーの目標性能は230psほどというが、この数値も少し欲張り すぎな気 がする。車重1200kg以下に収められるのな ら、180～200psもあれば十分だろう。そもそもライトウェイトスポーツは、絶対的速さを 追求するクル マではないのだから……。速さや、高い限界性能 は、失敗したときのリスクの大きさにも比例することが多い。"
I'm assuming that Tetsuya Tada (Chief Engineer of this project) is saying that (roughly translating). & ppl who can read Japanese can make sure I'm not BS'ing and prove me that what I'm translating is true.
Subaru 2 Liter Boxer Engine's Mark Performance is 230ps, but I feel that this number is bit greedy. If we can hold the car's weight to 1200kg (2645 lbs), 180~200ps should be plenty of power. In the first place Light Weight Sport car isn't pursing for high speed. Speed and over the limit performance are when they fail the size of the risk is proportionally big/high.
... that means I pray might be heard of having the weight of 2600ish?
