if you wnat something to aspire to, follow group-N rally or your local time-attacks.

there is nothing to aspire to in these big budget races. The cars are not cars but racing machines, the money involved is beyond those of that a single person could provide.

it's like aspiring to be a baseball pitcher by watching the automatic ball-launcher machine at work.

i thought the stock torsen one was pretty stong, its the same pumpkin out of the supra... or pretty much..

These cars are designed and built from the ground up as race cars rather than being born as production cars and then being modified. So there is never a case of "The stock part is good enough, so let's just leave it on the car". I would be shocked to find out that the BRZ GT300 shared any parts in common with the production car.

If anything, I would expect to find that it's running something along the lines of a rear mounted Hewland transaxle.

Hm... Round 2 GT300 BRZ didn't do so well. They took a 9th place

BTW - since the production Prius tends to have very good Cd, I wonder how much advantage it would be to use its shell - probably all nullified by the monster wing back there....
