Tristin Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Thats the Rocket Bunny Tra Kyoto 6666 kit. That's the Rocket Bunny/TRA Kyoto kit. It was designed using clay moldings and laser scans. You can get it at vivid racing for $3,500 for everything. S14... That thing looks great! Im sure its a blast to drive. Clean and stealthy, I like it. *Fixed A little late to the party...

Son_of_a_Datsun_Guy Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 The difference is the name on the car and they only make one brz per 90 FRS or gt86 BRZ starts at a few grand more than the FRS too.... lots of money for a Subaru badge. Quote Link to comment
OneFastRat Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 BRZ starts at a few grand more than the FRS too.... lots of money for a Subaru badge. Could Subaru be in trouble? I don't really see them advertising the Impreza wrx sti. I mean seriously that car is one of the reasons they are still around. Quote Link to comment
Son_of_a_Datsun_Guy Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 They have a new WRX coming out in 2014? Radical restyle, and now only available in 4 door, no more hatches. They have no plans to remove the WRX, that's why the BRZ is tuned down to 201hp, can't have the new kid on the block making as much power as the the tried and true STI. Basic marketing says that they shouldn't have two cars in the same power space, effectively catering to the same crowd. Even the new BRZ STI is only going to be supercharged... like 300hp or something, not even close to STI power on the new generation I suspect. Quote Link to comment

Yeah, but even with two cars in the same powerband they are two totally different cars. Other than the hatch for a bit, the STi was always an AWD family car that kicked ass and took names. BRZ is still a small 2-seater RWD sport car. Obviously since the WRX has more meat on its bones, it needs more power/torque to help get it moving, but I dont think increasing the power or the BRZ will ever hurt STi sales. Quote Link to comment
Son_of_a_Datsun_Guy Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 It may be different when you live up in Washington, but the kinds of people that own STIs aren't really family people, or at least that's not why they buy the car. Most of them are kids (teens, young adults, w/e I'm 18 I call everyone under the age of 35 a kid for some reason) and they are looking for the quick power. Even up in the hill the AWD doesn't really do that much for them. I imagine in Washington/the NW where you have real weather it'd make a difference, but down here it's the same crowd for the BRZ and STI Quote Link to comment

It's not a real WRX any more Quote Link to comment
Son_of_a_Datsun_Guy Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Only sources I can find say it's going to have the 2.0L boxer engine from the BRZ with a turbo and direct injection tech from Subaru... That's pushing 275hp as the Impreza, meaning even more form the WRX and STI versions.... Quote Link to comment

Tristin Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 They unveiled it at an auto show and speedhunters got coverage on it. Thing is ugly Thing looks fine... just not your sterotypical STi. Times change. Theres no concrete reports of a complete powerplant. If you have articles that talk about a hybrid, Im all for reading them. I saw the SH coverage and they didnt have any concrete facts other than pictures of the autoshow model. Those arent always released models either. Im sure it will change some before it hits dealers.

I mean seriously that car is one of the reasons they are still around. not really, their bread and butter is foresters and tribecas, the enthusiast community has a much different view of a companys bottom line than they do. Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. is doing just fine 1 Quote Link to comment
