BRZ STI version in Blue, White or Silver
2L Turbo 275 HP motor or more
18" STI wheels
Brembo brakes

What Will Miko Do To His Car. Well The Goal Is 350 WHP

1) 3.5in turbo back exhaust
2) Large front mount Spearco Intercooler
3) Turn the boost up 7 PSI.
4) New rims and tires, 225s out front and 225 to 275s out back ( Bloomin Onion with that )

If they figure out larger injs soon for this car then bigger injs, larger turbo and ECU reflash for 450 WHP.

Lets do this people.

This is win. STI version if/or when it comes should be awesome.

Finished reading the Car and Driver article and I'm glad to know the Toyota version has a good bit less understeer than the Subaru, and was their over-all pick of the two. Since it is the better looking model in my opinion. It seems the right choice for a casual enthusiast between the two. All bets are off obviously if you want to switch it all up.

I was disappointed that C&D said "The Scion features a funky "86" badge whose design pays homage to the boxer engine." I guess these guys have forgotten the mid-80s Corolla that was the inspiration for the whole project...

Unless there's something somehow about the Subie engine that ties in the number 86?

I'm loving the idea of this car. I probably missed it but what is the price point of the Scion? Tried checking their site and came up with notsomuchinfo.

Once you see the badge, you'll see exactly what they are talking about. =D
