Interesting the car has a Bilstein sticker on it and previous versions I saw pictures of used the Bilstein MDS shocks but at least in this instance they are using Sachs shocks.

Wow, that's badass!!

I'd like to know how much of that car is still BRZ. From the looks, it's only be the bare chassis, maybe the engine block & engine mounting locations. I'd be more interested in watching a stripped out & caged BRZ with a tuned/unrestricted/remapped stock engine on coilovers and race brakes like they ran at the Nurbugring before release.

man... i bet that body kit will sit hella flush with my stock wheels, just need coilovers.

It only puts out about 300HP. Its made for torque and g's not top speed.

jix87 · 09-17-2012, 06:18 PM

Some guesses at specs gleaned from the pics and JDM article:

296hp @6000rpm
331ftlbs @4000rpm
Weight: 2535lbs
Brakes: AP Racing 6 piston front, 4 piston rear
Wheels: 18x11.5 front, 18x13 rear
Spring rates look to be 700lbs front, 900lbs rear

The only thing that is required in JGTC 300 and 500 classes is that from a side silhouette it must resemble the original car and be close to 300/500hp not to exceed.

This is basically the exact same car as the Legacy and STi that were run previously for Subaru in the GT300 class.

This car is more "correct" in the fact it started life as RWD. The others of course are AWD and were converted to RWD for JGTC.

The old cars used to be AWD, but a way different setup than a standard Subaru.

TouchMyHonda · 09-17-2012, 08:29 PM

Beast, makes me thing of the jccs accord for some reason.

Beyer Subaru · 09-17-2012, 09:02 PM

Yep, some of the cars pre-08 like the Cusco version. But even then the RWD cars dominated.

All of them have been AWD, including the Legacy they ran last year. This was how the drivetrain was laid out:

It used an external front diff powered by a separate propshaft. The cars were always heavier due to the AWD and I don't know if it was really an advantage.
