^I believe the BRZ is the only model that is mechanically equal to its JDM counterpart. Can you imagine if Subaru released their JDM bugeye in the US with 248hp?(AVCS, no pre-turbo cat, big port heads, projector headlamps, STi like seats) As well as giving us a the EJ207 in the STi?

I have an 02 and 03 WRX and working on swapping a version 8 in one of them for my turbo fix. For the BRZ, making the car lighter (CF driveshaft, lightweight beams, exhaust, forged wheels etc) is my main goal.
