I would SO pay that much for this car. these are the balls the car needs.
besides there are already people who paid that much for the current BRZ people are also spending $3k on this car to get pitty 15whp. this car would come with a lot more power for that much money plus a warranty. |

I did and like most of the folks who have been here know that anything can happen. Both Tada and Takeshi have gone off on so many tangents and played so many mind games just to fool the consumer. They've got something up their sleeve.

straight direct injection is a step backward. they *need* to keep both port & DI. it's the only way - unless you want cookie cutter tuning. look at all the other DI cars ... no aftermarket injector support. not to mention carbon buildup on the intake valves.

I think it's silly to say, "See what you can get for the same money" since there's really nothing to compare it to. For $25k I could put a nice down payment on a house. What's your point? I still wouldn't have a BRZ if I spent the money elsewhere, especially on something less exciting to drive! |

For 2014 we might see two new twins on the market:
1) A turbo BRZ producing 250+ HP with a small turbo producing very little lag at low RPMs. 2) A Scion FR-S release series 1.0, with a body kit inspired by Ken Gushi's hair, 20" chromed cast iron DUB edition wheels and underglow, for only slightly more than the cost of a BRZ Limited. |

Here is my take.
If you look at most of the aftermarket turbo kits for brz, they are placed at unreasonable positions in the engine bay. When i say unreasonable, i meant unrealible and problematic for factory stand point. And engine bay is so compact that there isnt really a proper placement for a turbocharger. With that said i highly doubt they will make turbocharger for brz. It literaly is designing a new engine compartment. However im sure you will be able to use turbo parts from legacy engine on brz engine. Thus making it more reliable and capable engine for brz.

Let's play Find The Turbo on this factory EJ25! Yeah, all Turbo Boxer engines have their turbos in unusual and impractical places. That's the fallacy of having an exhaust manifold on the bottom.
