It sounds like a winner. ...sounds like. 2.0T, 6-speed, torsen LSD, brembos, RE-050A's, that's a sweet spec list for $23,750. That's less than the first WRX, which had way less, but awd. With those specs, it's basically a Silvia S15 Spec-R, which we've been begging for for a decade. The one spec I keep seeing omitted as every car forum ejaculates over the news is the weight. I had to look it up from press releases in 08. It's going to weigh 3450 in the 4-cyl configuration. [cues the "awww" music Price is Right] More weight than a 350Z and 2/3's the power. I'll pass.

Yeah, the V6 one should move out. Just don't make plans to tear up the track in the 2.0T. Although, this 4-cyl is supposed to be based from the same design that made the new EVO motor and SRT-4 motor.
