I'm not even the slightest upset, I am not a child.

As of right now, I disagree with the auto magazines idea that it will be a D4-S FB20. If Subaru had been testing the FT86 with "just" a D4-S system on a FB20 engine we would have heard more about the engine by now and they wouldn't have hesitated to show it in the Concept 2 and FR-S Concept even as a show piece. Something isn't adding up.

I previously stated why the FB20 block isn't ideal for what they had envisioned for the car. Then you go on to ask me if I think it's economical to create a new engine for the car which I have already explained why changing the FB25 (not creating a new engine) in the second post makes more economical sense than the 200bhp D4-S FB20, due to pre-mature engine wear due to increased power and at high rpm usage in the form of technical explanation of the FB poor rod-stroke ratio. So go ahead attack me saying the bad "know it all" man.

I don't want this to sound like an attack because we are both genuinely excited for news on the car; but do you seriously have a near 15 posts a day average?
