I mean, it's not a full on SuperGT car, but it's about as close as one anything somewhat still resembling a street car could possibly be. It's literally a factory time attack car + some pretty lights. Not anywhere near cheap in the aftermarket and even less cheap coming from an OEM tuning branch...
Somebody posted that Subaru (or affiliate) could build a rally car with a 0 to 60 in two seconds time and was pissed that Subaru was not offering that to the peons as the BRZ STD for 30K.
