How much weight for driver? Assuming 175 lb., that puts it at 2852 lb. with full tank, no driver, or only about 100 lb. heavier than stock, not 240! Not bad...

FFS, would people stop bitching about weight balance already? If you don't want to throw the weight off in your car, don't! This guy did a pretty rad swap that I'm sure is FUN AS HELL to drive. Will the car feel like your BRZ? No it won't. It won't have exactly the same steering feel, or rotational ability, but it will have crap tons of power and I'm sure can be made to handle quite well.

Yeah, that's even better than I expected. I'm curious how it drives though.
