If it goes in an FRS, the car will become front heavy and the center of gravity will go up. It will also gain a good bit of weight. The wheel base isnt meant for the 2jz to be boosted anywhere near 600+ hp, you will just spin out trying to exit a corner if you get on it too soon and with it being front heavy you cant dive into corners or go through high speed corners since your rear isnt planted as well, so you would be holding back alot.

Its too late to ask Carroll, But people used to tell him the same thing. Then the Cobra and the Daytona coupe was born. And the rest is history.
I do agree that putting 20k into a BRZ/FR-S would make a better car. But doing this swap is more about being the 1st guy to do it and all the fame that comes along with it.
