Totally agree. That hoodline just above the nose on the STI highlights a (possibly) poor aesthetic decision. Have to see it in person though. Wonder why they didn't paint the hood? Maybe just to point out it was CF? Hopefully a body color option is available.

about the only legit part on the PROVA modified BRZ

spray paint the mesh black or gray and you're in business.

Reminds me of Halloween. The concept STI back from 2011 was golden they should really paint that cf hood unless they kept it unpainted just to show that "hey were using cf for the hood and roof"

225s? Is that all? I hope that isn't the fatal flaw of the 86.

Brody8877 · 01-14-2012, 06:16 AM

I'm still trying to avoid holding my breath on this thing due to the engine but I find myself getting more and more excited. I think price is going to be the deal-killer/sealer on this bad boy.

Can't wait to PDI one when they start arriving at my dealership this Summer!

It's not even going to dyno 200hp at the wheels. You don't need gigantic fattie 285 on a car that's going to do ~160whp and weigh less than 3,000 pounds.

the exhaust on the black BRZ looks a little funny to me. anyone else? and i love those rims on the black one.

cassidy0998 · 01-14-2012, 05:49 PM

Will the black edition actually be sold? Or is it just another teaser model? Or does nobody know for sure?

sparrowhawk · 01-15-2012, 01:23 PM

Has there been any official press release with information or new pics of the sti concept?

Vincent · 01-16-2012, 01:22 AM

Nice pictures.

Anyone gonna wait it out?
My sup. Who drives a Nismo 370z said
i should wait till 2nd gen or at least 2nd year.
And that i should get a more high power version
Since a mini van can over take it on the hwy.

What does your gut tell you?

My gut tells me I don't usually race mini vans on the highway. Thats just dumb.

Seriously tho, do you get over takin by mini vans in your golf? You do realize it has less hp as the brz right? And the brz weighs less right?

This car is not slow. Its faster then you can drive legally on any public road. It will hit 60 mph in about 6 seconds. If thats not fast enough for you on public roads then you drive like an asshole...

Sorry to go off topic, just tired of armchair racers their warped views and twisted idea of a sports car.
