the 5x100 pattern has been on all wrx till 06 even the 05 sti is still 5x100, pretty sure its only the newest model that is 5x114.3 and only the sti's

personally i dont think its subaru at all because its not AWD only thing suby in there is the boxer and if its the FJ20 they cant turbo it yet

wtf were discussing it here now??
iv been on http://www.ft86club.com/forums/ since 06/2010, and i LOVE that car. it like the concepts a whole lot better than the current production spec (although i do love the production spec too)
one of the memebers from ft86 club was fortunate to actually win the comp toyota had on fb a few weeks back, the price was flights and accomodation in japan, and attandance to the invite only unveiling of the ft86 (now gt86, was a086 as well years back lol) its from him that the 1000 units a year rumor stems, there was a translation error when he (leeky) talked to one of the head engineers for toyota
i think that the subarus concept (brz) looks pretty sweet, and i love the fact that the sti concept DOESNT have awd or turbo.. that was a good day, so many little ricers got shut the f up haha
the frs was pretty good when it was unveiled (the scion version) but my fav so far was the mk2 in orange
in short, i will get one, not straight away but
to me this is a slightly smaller rx8, with a much better fuel consumption haha
needless to say im excited haha
i bought the PS3 because GT5 has the FT86 in it haha. Not joking
i do like how the car stayed true to its original concept
here is the evolution of the concepts
TOYOTA
2009

2010

2011


SCION
FRS


SUBARU


notice that they kept the rims same as of geneva 2010 (mk2)

and here is a turbo concept by gazoo racing

Not a picture but flipping hell. Skip to 3 minutes for the awesomeness. Hell those things are loud and they sound kinda like a F1 car at high revs.

I love the sound of a PP rotary idling, it's like something wild is in the engine trying to get out.

not my idea of a nice car... maybe if the IC was black, and less blingy rims.

Mmmmm. Pitroad m have some hot as hell cars. They used to race a lot in japan

The old article on the car is here: http://www.urbanracer.com/articles/anmviewer.asp?a=2711.

It used to be 960hp and 708 lb-ft. Apparently its above that (and is easily possible)

I wish they'd bring their old time attack car out too

But can it turn. Something the 3000KG, oops I mean the 3000GT wasn't known for.

they are a good looking car in stock form. Boy does that trackattack one look hot. didn't they do some weight reduction to it. Maybe a 2000GT now?

Smart ass

They turn pretty well, low speed sucks a bit but it's a pretty common mitsi trait. They're are popular and reasonably successful at autocross in the states though

If you're inclined, you can drop a lot of weight on them. Carbon fibre/kevlar everything if you've got the cash, doors, guards, bonnet, roof, hatch, front rear bars and skirts. The Pitroad M ones are allegedly down to 1250~kg. The new track car is almost 1hp = 1 kg
