Oh don't get me wrong, I'm 100% take 4/2 piston Advics for sure... but real questions is Brembo vs Advics, which one gonna be cheaper in option?

Pic 7 no stick from the transmission, it's an automatic gear box!?

That setup is pretty low. But that rear suspension, is that why you're saying it's gonna be a hatch? I'd be cool with that!

IDK, prob they just used some concept tranny, so doesn't need a MT or AT spot.

Rear struts are lil bit longer than front struts (in most cases)... but recent hatch made the rear struts short. Here's a pic of hatch coilovers

right is front coilover & left is rear coilover. You can see clearly the high difference.

wait so... it's a rear wheel drive with Subaru's AWD system? so is it RWD or 4WD?

RWD from the company famous for AWD. Confuses it.

And it is pronounced dorifto

it will be RWD. It will be Symmetrical RWD... I think, Engrish got their way

Sex. If it were a liftback (and a Toyota), it would be perfect.

Well, I guess the motor could be a little further south. But now I'm seriously nitpicking. I love that classic sports coupe look.

Is anyone else concerned that the engine may be TOO low? I can see it being damaged by going over speed bumps or potholes a little too fast..

Sorry for this noobish question, but how will a low engine affect the handling? I'm not really familiar with boxer engines

Think about that question.... How do things with a lower center of gravity handle...

Another way to think about it is this: would you like to drive a car that has heavy cargo strapped to the roof or would you rather have it on the floor of the car?

^Oh~ do like all those not direct answers. Make ppl think! lol

70NYD · 02-28-2011, 05:45 PM

WHERE IS THE DROOL BUTTON
awesome shots and awesome car
glad to see its rwd for real and macphersons up front mean easier tunable (rather than getting different length links and fucking with dynamic castor to gain some dynamic camber)
and the awd thing, i beleive its supposed to be in regards to the chassis being derived from the current symetrical awd chassis meaning its V-Balanced?

Doty0588 · 02-28-2011, 06:12 PM

ah well that would make sense

Burrcold · 02-28-2011, 07:59 PM

The engine is perfect in height and position IMO.
