heh...


Seriously though, with how butt-hurt Subaru has been acting with its 'We did it all!' press releases, I wouldn't be surprised if even if they use a turbo FA20, they would re-name it back to an FB20.

The bore and stroke will show how much the WRX/STI motors relate to the existing FB motors. I'm still curious about the 72mm stroke on existing bores idea that we were floating around long before we had the 86mm X 86mm confirmation.

Also some of Moto-P's old posts seem to indicate that the cars are not as conceptually attached to each other as they will appear on release. It could be a time/money-constraint thing.
