Have the leaked scans been verified that they aren't a photochop or not?
One thing to note is that the RX-8 power figures are for the US. JDM RX-8 get 250PS and they even have a taller 3rd gear because of it. They used the USDM version. I didn't see any others besides that one. They compared it to the CR-Z instead of the Civic Si. They could have compared it with the Gencoupe or a BMW 1 Series if they need something close!The Mid range price has been estimated around $25k USD for a long time. The only question is which will Scion offer or how much for a Subaru Base. ![]() You guys managed to argue about Fuel Economy estimates for an entire page.

I think this might be how Scion is going to set it up too! Offer the Low Spec as a blank canvas and then offer an array of accessories for both interior and exterior. I want the low spec, perfect for the track!

btw everything pretty much has been translated. the only things i noticed that weren't translated:
the car in fact does require premium unleaded gas (無鉛プレミアム) the rear seat is one piece and is foldable (一体可動式) did anyone mention that the high spec model comes with a digital speedo and tachometer? (デジタルスピードメーター revメーター) random interior bits included in the high spec model: stainless door scuff plate? (ステンレス製ドアスカッフプレート) some kind of mesh carbon interior panels metal plated inside door handles(メッキインサイドドアハンドル) door courtesy lamp?(ドアカーテシランプ) knee pad (ニーパッド) the "customize grade" bare bones model is 1190 kg |

Of course, better set-ups are always better when it comes to the brakes. If I win free money or something, I would love to get the AP racing calipers;http://www.essexparts.com/shop/compe...-calipers.html |

While the torque hasn't dropped much by 7000 (400 rpm later) it obviously starts dropping nicely after that point. For it to even make close to the peak torque at 7400 it would be producing 213hp @ 7400. If we assume it just drops 1 HP at 7400 the torque is already down to 141ftlbs at 7400. Most likely it drops a decent amount more than that, let's just say 5hp, and you are already down to 138ftlbs 400RPM after peak HP and only 800RPM past peak torque. You rev that stock motor with stock cams and valvetrain to 9000 (again assuming you don't get valve float and piston to valve contact) and you won't be making any sort of usable power.

Not true, you just have to know what you are doing and be reasonable about it.

They probably wanted to use other Asian cars.. They seemed to focus on lightweight cars so I'm guessing that's why they used the CR-Z.. not sure. Any hybrid used as a comparison seems silly lol

Example: the new 5.0 coyote mustang motor has 11.0:1 compression... not exactly what you want for boosting an engine but C'est la vie... there are plenty of boosted coyote motors running around at 6-7psi on 91 octane up to 8 psi on 93, and if you want to run ethanol (like I would do) I believe they are getting up to 10psi. thats on a stock engine. One of the limitations is the fuel and the density of the air charge. Ethanol is EXTREMELY knock resistant as most people on here know. You also run it alot richer than 91 or 93 (about 15-20% richer generally). Another limiting factor is the lower end... I'm thinking they are going to go forged internals... it just makes sense if they want the motor to spin up to 7500 or 8000rpm... this is good news for boosting the motor. If the compression ratio is over 11.0:1 it would almost be not worth it to boost the motor, to get real power it would need a rebuild and lower compression. In my car (Cobalt SS with the LNF) the engine is built from the factory to take murderous amounts of boosted power. stock boost is 15+/- psi. I am running 24/25psi on my ethanol tune... that said the compression ratio is like 9.2:1. There are plenty of guys getting almost 500whp on a daily driver Cobalt SS (turbo swaps). But this is just an example of a more ideal motor for boost.

I'm good with brake upgrades on all four corners but it takes a pretty piss poor brake design to actually need it, or a shitload more power on track, then you need bigger heatsinks (aka rotors) all around to handle the additional heat from braking at higher speeds. Either way, for me, I'm sure the OEM brakes will suffice. I'll have to import the JDM ones if we don't get them though just to have them :P
