The FT86 overall has more metal and glass. Throw on the bodykit and or have the turbo model and your pushing 3000+. That's why I stress that the NA model push at least a non-overrated 205-210hp to the crank, which is kinda farfetched for a non-turbo Subaru engine.

This.
If anything, the FT-86 is a RWD Celica.
Now, with your expert experience, how much weight do you think a RW drive train will add if you took a Celica base of 2500 lbs?
