I'd love to see this car hit the market with a high boost (I want 40 psi!) boxer 4 banger and a H6 TT.


Turbo components weigh a lot. Most modern V8's aren't heavy. There is a lot of bias and misinformation on this board concerning this topic. Hell, even the RX-7 13B is known to weigh the same or slightly more than the V8's people replace them with.


This car is what I have been planning to replace the BRZ, if it comes with hybrid, an H6 TT or a boxer 4 (LOL)....basically anything besides the V6 TT that is being rumored... I'm so far out it isn't funny and will wind up with another corvette.

Most modern V8's have had DBW for the same amount of time any other car has....
