This is a BRZ / FRS that makes sense

But honestly...running 285 hoosier radial slicks (one of the faster slicks on the market currently) and still only posting practice times of around 2:20 and to eek out a flying TT lap of 2:17 at VIR is...well....ummmmmm still pretty slow.

 

it's pretty weak

 

it's dumb to run that wide a tire with the stock power levels.....it kills the braking balance and acceleration with absolutely no gain in cornering due to the already low CG

bigger is not always better....there's always a limit

^^^ I agree with a s/c 3800

Eh, it would be a cool swap and all, but seeing as the 3800 prolly weighs about the same as an ls motor (all iron vs all aluminum) id rather just have the more power from the ls. Now seeing as im pullng my 3800 out of the bird anyway, if i could find a brz cheap enough, i would drop it in. 300 ish hp and a good amount of low end torque in that chassis with a 6 speed would be a blast

Subaru BRZ LSX Swap In Progress

 

http://www.lsxtv.com/news/someone-finally-swapped-a-lsx-engine-into-a-subaru-brz/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=someone-finally-swapped-a-lsx-engine-into-a-subaru-brz

 

Weapons Grade Performance decided that a LS2 engine from a Pontiac GTO was the best solution to their power conundrum, and as it turns out the engine fits quite nicely under the stock hood of a BRZ. The engine is still a long way from actually being a working power plant, and we’d hate to be the guy charged with wiring that sucker up.

 

 

Are you kidding on the wiring? It would take an hour of someones time and there is only 4 open leads....
