I can't confirm how well it works.
Subaru offers tons of parts, from strut tower, front cross member braces, pillowball endlinks/ trailing arms, theres pretty much everything.
You make think its a pipe dream but pretty odd if Subaru decided to show the nearly road ready sti concept a couple weeks before the production model was shown, after a year and a half wait with nothing.

I think the pipe dream comments were about the racecar for 15k. Until real pricing comes and in the unlikely event Subaru would even offer the shell for sale for race car build, it is pretty close to impossible that you can do a real track ready BRZ for 15k.
I don't doubt subaru will offer race oriented components at a nice profit margin for the company to people who want it. I am less sure that Subaru would do a "stripped down" version at this point. I think STI version may happen if there is a market. Anyhow its all speculation at this point. Other than a bunch of journalists gushing over the handling we have very little real performance info to go on.
