You've gotta give a reference to what you're talking about because you KEEP bringing this up. That was a rumor over a year ago. Its now confirmed to be its own chassis design from the ground up. FFS, Subaru even showcased it!

FYI, typical Subbies are understeering pushers because of the AWD system, with the bulk of the weight in the front sitting ahead of the front axle. Edit: Researched myself and found myself wrong(concerning the FT-86's front weight). That being said, this chassis is specifically designed for an FR setup, and the majority bulk of the front weight is not so far forward to make it front heavy. They can't state that the engine sits far back near the middle and then do the opposite....ok they could, but they won't.

I would think 10 years in the biz and you'd be able to ascertain that much.
