All of them boasting similar weight and more power than the GT86 Griffon. Like the Supernow FC managed 57sec using 500hp/2300lbs on a full track build for Tsukuba.

Im just saying even with 2200lbs-2300lbs the GT86 is still using stock engine stock ECU, with nearly nothing touched other than headers and exhaust. Im VERY impressed seeing as how the record Open N/A is held by ASM s2000 300hp/2127lbs @ 59.9 I.. I truly believe that the GT86 or BRZ could be the next record holder for the Tsukuba N/A in the very near future.
I'm also phenomenally impressed and really surprised that others are unimpressed. Yes the car is on race slicks, but you don't match or even beat full blown time attack cars on a stock motor and similar weight by just adding race slicks. That just doesn't happen. Well not unless you're trd apparently. Btw that asm car actually made 350ps at the crank and had to be warmed up for 20 minutes every time you started the motor right? The trd griffon is a beast!
