Toyota (and maybe yamaha) built the head and incorporated their DI sytem. Looks like subie built the mule and the majority of the parts. Toyota made it less ugly, made a pretty front lip kit, and stole the sti wing.
Seriously -- who cares?
Those power numbers aren't completely nutty -- allegedly you can milk considerably more power with DI by running higher timing and higher CR's than you could safely with port injection, so it's probably not wildly far off the mark if not to be taken as gospel.
The weight is also not that far fetched, although a bit disappointing -- 2800 is still very light for a modern car. Rip out the back seat and gut it, and you'll be back to the 2600 lb track car you guys want.
Price is a bit steep, but also not far off the mark of the last best estimate -- it crept up from mid to high 20's some time ago if memory serves.
Now offer a TRD blower of some sort and you've got a bad ass little car -- it may corner and brake well, but that 1/4 mile time is no better than a 10 year old Celica GT-S... charge me another 5 - 7 grand for a "does it all pretty well" option and I'll buy it.
