EVO magazine mentioned that even the Clio Renaultsport was more fun than the A/T Subaru BRZ... and that was the outgoing RS Clio with the normally aspirated 2.0 engine.
Now there's the New Clio Renaultsport: Quote:

The legendary Toyota reliability is being put to test by the Toyobaru...
![]() Some owners are complaining about rough idling and stalling engine problems. Repairs could include a combination of the following: replacing cam sprocket assemblies, replacing oil control valves, reflashing and/or replacing the engine control unit (ECU). These solutions have not been consistent and may require multiple repairs or even vehicle replacement due to limited success. Toyota and Subaru did not release any official report of how many cars are affected but it seems a few hundred are suffering from the problem so far. |

The best EVER from Chris Harris... "On the street, FUN is better than speed"
![]() And... there you have it, one of the basic principles of the Toyobaru philosophy - the thin Prius' tires! What is missing in the Toyobaru is just some extra torque (mind you, we are talking about a 6.3L V8 here ![]() |

This is one of the reasons I am such a BIG Advevo's fan

Once again, you can see what a 8x18 inch wheels with the thinner 235/40 tires all round can do for the 1M balance ON THE STREET ![]() Before I have purchased the sticky P-Zero's, which I also find very progressive on the limit once they let go, I couldn't find a good condition set of used BMW's M270 18'' rims that you see in the above vid (new, they cost around 2400€). Otherwise, I would have bought it instead, no doubt! ![]() |

If Subaru puts out a STI version of their BRZ ( with power to match, nothing less than 300hp/300tq), i will legitimately sell the 335i for it. Sexy body, low weight, combined with a sexy engine? Yes please.
Yes, this is what i want to know as well ![]()

No way you will see 300/300 from the factory.

I have a sad feeling your right. I was just hoping for WRX STI-ish numbers. I can dream, cant i

I wouldn't worry about it too much. ~260hp will put it at the same power to weight ratio as the STI. It would likely be tunable to 300hp with a reflash alone.
