Hell the FRS/BRZ is about 75 to 100 pounds lighter than a s2000.
I think this car is gonna surprise a bunch of people. It's not a big heavy car. If you think about it, it's one of the lightest rwd 2+2 out there.
We just got to see one on a dyno to really see how much power it really has.
Just because Toyota/Subaru says it has 200ps does not mean it may dyno much higher. They may have underrated the engine output.
Read this to see how Honda underrated the engine in the 2004 s2000

i hope its great but wishful thinking isnt going to get us anywhere. by that same tolken it could be overrated and we know it has "inferior" suspension design
another not on that weight distribution aside from areo influence is the fact that balance is most important when turning and when youre turning you are probably also accelerating and thats going to shift the weight back some. if you think about it they had enough room and this was designed from the ground up so this number shouldnt be an accident or a compromise
