If I was a police officer I'd pull them over for some bogus reason just to check out the car.

LOL I totally would! Maybe that's why I'm not popo lol

Is it just me or are these Bilstein shocks?

Looking at the rear shots, I'm curious to see the underside of this thing, I was hoping to be able to fit in a single can/exit exhaust on it. Not big on the duals, as usually it just give manufacturers excuses to jack up the costs on their exhausts exponentially due to the "extra piping/tips".

Yes, a nice single exit that you can stuff a silencer in there when needed would be wonderful.

Also in regards to watching the car pull up to the house/garage the car is being stored at. Seems very nice and convenient that the freelancer knew where the car was going that particular day/night. But maybe these freelance guys really are that lucky and just hang out on random street corners in the middle of nowhere?

It's not planned between the test drivers/company and the person who took this, trust me. I know the person who took it.

Not cool. A couple of weeks after the tC was released I got a bogus ticket for crossing a solid white line. The cop spent 15 minutes checking out the car and another 10 trying to figure out if it was grey, blue, or green (was the flint mica/metallic grey color).

Ticket was dismissed but I still had to pay the court fees for the ticket in my "green" car.

It looks like a single muffler, dual exit setup from the enlarged pic above (like the 350Z). I actually prefer the h or x pipe with dual mufflers but looks like I'll have to wait for that.

Yeah, that's how it looks alright. I'm just wondering how much room there is to play under there with the floor pans, drive shaft, differential, and suspension components. This thing probably has a huge muffler, or multiples on it. For example, my old celica had numerous mufflers/resonators on it, for good reason I found out as when I put my TRD Kazuma exhaust on it, the thing screamed. I love loud exhausts, trust me, so when I say it was loud, it was loud. You'd be able to hear it just as well as my buddies SLP-Loud Mouth/Header Camaro SS. lol.

Good eye. Looks about right to me.

But don't count on anything you see to be in the production.

As was mentioned before, Toyota/Subaru have a huge bin of parts they are swapping out to test.

yera · 05-20-2011, 12:16 AM

So good eye with the Bilsteins!!

I'm glad to see it in movement but i need to hear a good high-rev too!

Good work

xantonin · 05-20-2011, 12:18 AM

Any possibility of them making the exhaust extra quiet while testing the prototype?

I mean, obviously the don't want to do anything to hamper performance, but on the other hand I'm sure they aren't testing its 0-60 times. Seems like mostly handling testing.

Semper · 05-20-2011, 12:20 AM

Notice the outline in the middle of the hood. I don't think this was noticeable in any of the photos.
