However, I do think it has to be feasible to put enough reliable power in an 86 to challenge the American muscle that handle like boats on the track.
Just my opinions and personal dreams for this platform... you can only smoke so many civics and kia fortes before you want to establish yourself as a true competitor in the sports car world.

GTS I think is trying to punch too high. TCA seems to be a great base class for the FRS, and TC looks like a very achievable class as well, but way more money will need to be thrown into the car. Unless Scion decide to make a factory backed effort for GTS, I don`t see it being done.
I also don`t get why we don`t see more BRZ and FRS in circuit racing. It would seem to be a great base chassis, but their must be something about them that we don`t see that handicaps them or that backing just isn`t enough for teams to switch. Parts must be homologated for racing, so if no one is driving them of pushing for homologations, their is no way to race the car most of the times.
