A BRZ however is easy to work on, has a service manual, tons of mods to buy for it, all parts are cheap and the whole car costs less than our engine. Looks good too!! Nothing wrong with that...
Thank you. Once out of warranty I will explore EVERY mechanical possibility. At 2700 lbs there is a helluva lot of potential.
