Production Spec Subaru BRZ Previewed at National Conference & Latest Info/Rumors

[Random_Art]

I think they could easily make the 2500 pound mark. Hell, the last generation Celica was around the same size and weighed around 2500 pounds.

I was browsing a 2012 Camry article and think I read that it is the same size but lighter than the outgoing one. This may indicate something positive at Toyota, and I may have to force myself to re-find, re-read and retain what I read in that zzzz... article.

Edit: I'm retarded.

Subaru chassis. But the Impreza also lost weight over the previous generation. Hell the new Impreza is sub-3000lbs, so if this thing isn't people need to be fired...

Didn't Toyoda-san (Am I saying that right?) himself drive a prototype of this thing at Nurburgring? If he's a serious car guy, he can't bring us a granny car at 200 hp/3,000 lbs.

Otherwise, who is he kidding?

Oh okay guys, the BRZ will look like the Maserati MC-12, this is good news!

The last generation celica was 2700 no fluids. It also had a lighter engine and an fwd drivetrain. My freakin mk1 weighs 2500 with fluids. Its not gonna happen guys, sorry!

Curb weight- 1,100 kg (2,425 lb)

I also had mine on a scale with my 125 pound body in the driver's seat. I know what I'm talking about.

+1

We already know it's probably going to be heavier than the last gen Celica but lighter than the new Impreza or Altezza which are around 2900lbs.

2500lbs-2900lbs is the range I would expect but closer to 2800lbs if I were to guess.

I, too, have been using that Wikipedia information as a guide.

They could do 2500 lbs. on the FT-86. Hell, my Fit is 2500-ish with a/c, power windows and door locks, radio+cd, and a ton of glass.

And if they can't do it, then just sell me a RWD Celica GT-S for $22k.

I would hope it would be closer to the last gen celica in weight. But, I wouldn't complain if it came in between 2700-2800 pounds.

yeah, I'm 5ft 9in and 125. I've been that since junior year in high school, about 11 years ago now?

hmmm... the scale I was on was a truck scale at the scrap yard. and considering everything I've ever read on the weight of the celica said that it's weight was roughly 2500.

Maybe the calibration was off on the 4 corner scales? Alternately... take off your interior panels. Maybe a former owner was a drug dealer and hid 200 pounds of pot in there.
