So is it getting individual throttle bodies? If yes it means it'll be a responsive engine. What about dry sump lubrication? Could it make it to production?

In a low end production car?

I don't know of a single production car that comes with individual throttle bodies or dry sump lubrication. Though I admit that my knowledge of vehicles over the $50,000 mark is rather limited.

the e46 m3 had individual throttle bodies. and corvette has dry sump, at least z06 and zr1. but its not likely for this price range

The M3 started in the mid 50's and the base corvette started in the mid 50's. A new Z06 is what, 90 grand or so? I figured there would be some higher end cars when that kind tech. But, since I tend to lose interest when a car is priced over 40k, I tend to not know exactly what car comes with what random part/technology.

Considering the engine pictures we've seen so far clearly show one throttle body, why would we suddenly make the leap in logic to the production version having individual throttle bodies?

Your deductive reasoning is spot on. Honestly, why would people think that options that come on 100k + cars be available on a car we hope doesn't start off at more than 23K? The engine we saw this week is almost certainly going to be what we get in this car.

Anyone else noticed the holes for front driveshafts in the back of the hubs?

Off the shelf Subaru hubs reused just for this Tech Model or possible support for 4WD to be retrofitted in the future?

Random_Art · 09-14-2011, 03:55 PM

Probably just a hub from the parts bin to save on costs.

Ditto for right now.

Look at even Suspension. Struts and springs are from STI. Hub prob came from WRX

...the front hubs are one of things I wouldn't imagine they would actually reuse. If those wheel bearings fail early from lack of proper lubrication, I'm going to really be disappoint.
