Lmfao.... I mean seriously... Making the brz turbo is one thing.. Awd is another... Center of gravity would be messed up as well as weight distribution for a transfer case. And just the whole drive train... Car wp ld be sooooo much heavier all around.. And let's not even get into convertibles weight! Would be better off with a removable targa top.

If they were serious about making the Triplets a Micro exotic chassis would be to give it 400BHP and and a Direct-Shift Gearbox I know all the MT guys will chime in which I can respect the Dive Bombing Racers to do. But for safeties sake having seen this car with a 700hp v8 NA motor for the Correct balance that would reduce the front weighted pendulum effect a long transmission in the tunnel would be best for axis balance and 4 link IRS. Almost like an Ariel Atom with a body. For the JDM Muscles Elephant motor in the back seat ala "Pantera"

It seems some people missed that it was a joke. I've talked with WRX guys and they're saying "yeah, I heard the turbo version is coming out soon but it will be a hybrid diesel". And they were serious. You just have to nod... no words. Not worth the argument - they read it on the Internet, so it must be true.

I had to ruin a guys dream when he told me he was waiting for the April Fool's day car to come out. I said, show me a press release stating that car is coming out. He pulled up the Subaru press release, and I told him to look at the date it was released. He wasn't happy about it.

You know some lunatic is going to have to convert one of these things to mid-engine now.
Personally, I can't wait to see it.
In the meantime, I heard there is a front engine turbo 6 with a rear mount transaxle for weight balance under development.
