Silver looks good.... but i'm not a fan of the black bumpers... looks like the paint job is un-finished

It’s supposed to mimic Keiichi Tsuchiya's (aka drift king) ae86 and the panda two tone ae86's

(It’s not silver it’s more of a white pearl)

Aah... i see....

Still not a fan of it tho

Seen the torque curve of BMW's 3.0 twin turbo? It's as flat as they get, from 1200 to 5000 rpm.

And what does that have to do with throttle response? ;)

Superchargers are the only way to go FI and have proper response.

But then I stand by my statement of a large engine (and then charge it).

Going back to engines... not sure I entirely like the idea of something other then a Toyota engine in it.... for some reason. I just don't think it's natural.

:S

Toyota using a Subaru engine is no different to the Yamaha engines they've used in the past...

Well yes it is actually, you see Toyota built the engines, Yamah were involved in designing them. Yamaha make wind instruments, as such they are pretty good at air flow, velocity and turbulance, you know the kind of things that can make a good engine, great.

Subaru make clumsy heavy boxer engines that are mounted too high and suffer from piston ovality.

Gonna say, Yamaha was more in the design...

going back to the boxer... I've heard some nasty stories about the engines in Scoobys. :S But then a small engine which is having so much power forced outta it via a turbo, I assume it's more related to that, just a guess. I've heard around the net it's using the D-4S Boxer and not C-45 Boxer as previously reported. No idea what the difference is, but I'm sure someone here will! :D

I'd just prefer having a Toyota engine in there. I can only assume this is to test the water though. If this thing sales well, they'll put more money into the next one, building a new engine or modifying an existing engine to fit it.

I'm personally hoping they introduce the Blade over here, or just a petrol performance Auris to match the Rolla T-Sport/Compressor.
