The BRZ and FR-S may not have been created with straight line speed as its forte, but that doesn't preclude the aftermarket from making it a forte :)

18-time NHRA champion Ali Afshar will try to break a record at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in his monster BRZ, which runs the quarter mile in the 7's and boasts 1400hp out of its Subaru EJ25 2.5L engine.

The run will take place this Sunday, May 5th at LVMS and the event is open for every driver that owns a Subaru, competing in four classes: All Motor Subaru, Street Subaru, Modified Subaru and Extreme Subaru.

Gates open at 8:00 a.m and the racing begins at 9:30 a.m. Competing fee is $80 and admission is $17.

Function + Form.

I love this car. Eat your heart out stance kids.

Bro has money.

Lol

I'm usually not into drag cars, but this thing looks great!

Does a 2.4 l boxer mean a modified ej swap?

I saw a picture of this car last weekend. Looks awesome.

Lol thread has nothing to do with stance but youre keeping it relevant:bonk:

Car looks amazing, 1400hp boxer thats huge!:thumbup:

@Hachiroku , please deliver engine bay pics ASAP

Someone in Vegas needs to attend and get video, it is your civic duty!

I'm going to assume since they said 2.4 boxer it is not fa20 powered otherwise they probably would have stated it was a stroked fa20 :(. Either way still a sick car

I hope someone get video on this. I'l be patiently waiting, if I can. :popcorn:

BRZ body ≠ BRZ.

If you've got a tubular chassis, and a different motor (just an assumption right now), I just don't consider that a 7s "BRZ".

That's awesome. I hope we get some videos of it. I want to hear this monster roar. :D

Exactly, its all about function and that why I like it. :burnrubber:

it's clearly a brz shell. it's not fiberglass on a tube frame. what did you expect from a 7s drag car? it's every bit a brz, for what we know.

The car does look great but i believe he's running the same setup he has always ran.. H6 Motor - Twin Turbo 6 Cylinder

Not sure if this photo indicates tube frame or not:

My point is that if you aren't using the chassis, and not using the engine, you aren't really using the car. It's a 7s subaru motor, not a 7s BRZ.

words cannot.. describe.. should've sent... a poet

It's a BRZ body on a dragster chassis/engine. That is all.

Need more info on that motor & trans! EJ or FA? Assuming auto....

Think this is one of the most irrelevant comments and dumbest comments to make for an 86 chassis drag car.

when it comes down to it, its not necessarily the "car", but the engine... Take the drag celica running the 2jz for instance... its neither a 4cyl. or fwd... soooo, yea, i really wouldn't consider it an actual brz if its just a fiberglass body and completely diff engine... But, if that is a suby 4cyl boxer, then thats one hell of a build. Don't know much about the driver either, so yea.

lol cool?

I'm sorry if you like " stance " and I hurt your feelings or something. :lol:

don't burst my bubble. it's a brz! lol

Did some quick searching and by the sounds of it they're using an ej25... Curious to see where the 2.4L came from, unless they rounded down...

Not really... I can ensure you every one of my cars go around a track quicker then you. I'll be at NJMP later this year if you're interested.

Haha nah im good. I don't step foot in Jersey if I don't have to. :barf:

H6 ....nom nom nom

Respect. that is all.

I don't really consider it a BRZ/FR-S if they swap the engine. It's like putting another brain into my body and calling me the same. Yes it's a cool car regardless.

ARAB MONEY!!

You can find other pictures of it on the Tony Rigoli facebook page. TRP is an Australian Subaru tuner which has been around for a long time.

I don't think it's a tube-frame chassis, but it's hard to tell if it's just the body grafted onto one or if they hacked up the BRZ unibody.... Twin-turbo H6 EJ engine, automatic transmission.

ESX/Ali have built a bunch of fast cars in the past, same basic recipe.

Regardless of whether it's a true "BRZ" or not, I like to see stuff like this. :respekt:

Same here, they're just reppin' for the BRZ which is cool in my book.

Tube chassis or not. Repping a BRZ. Points in my book. JMO.

So sick!

subframe isnt a BRZ, but it does have most of the firewall and body from a BRZ. In any case, atleast its more FT86 than Tajima's 'Super 86' hillclimb car.

found this, dont know if it was posted in here already. Sounds awesome i can only imagine with the turbos

1400hp EJ....nicely done.

I'm not a big fan of drag racing, but Ali Afshar is a boss when it comes to fast Subarus, and this new car is super sweet!!

Oh, stop trying to spoil the fun! It's a BRZ as far as I'm concerned ;)

You don't need to be fast when you are parked with camber for photos. lol

Well, the way I see it, the closer you to get NY, the smellier and shittier it gets. Let's just keep the trash where it belongs.

Lol Isn't ESX the company that charges almost 60k for a modified STIs? Of course he has money because of all the people that were fooled into buying those things.
