Those are could have beem so much more with even 3xx whatever hp from the STi.
Id murder for a 500hp NA coyote swapped one.
It’s not fast. Sure.
but let’s consider that they are getting 261hp out of a 1.6l 3cyl in a 2900lb awd car. It’s definitely not slow.

a car with modern safety features, awd, and 2900 lb curb weight is pretty impressive
I agree. The fact that the addition of the AWD system still has it sitting just under 2900lbs is impressive.
And lets talk bout the brakes. Fucking 350mm x 25mm pizza's on the fronts in a 2900lb car is rediculous. With race pads and fluid I can't see anyone needing to upgrade the actual brake hardware. Ought to stop it dead nuts track day after track day.
The Fiesta ST is already a pretty fun package, but that's just about 200hp in a 2800lb package. This is another 60hp and it has AWD, with optional Torsen front/rear diffs. Ought to be a riot on smaller auto-x and super technical tracks.
I love Homologation rules!
i'd prefer 17s vs. 18s, although i'm guessing you can't actually fit 17s over 350mm
my brz is 2800 with 328x28 rotors and i simply have zero worry about them ever. interestingly enough they (and my oil) are both warmer at blackhawk than gingerman or any autobahn config.
also not sure what i should do with it. did 19 track days iirc in 2019. 2020 new job, living in the city, car having some spark issue somehow that never really got fixed; drove like 15 days all year, 2 or 3 on a track. 2020, problem remains, i'm not in the country. buddy runs kmiata and is swapping a k into another track bro's brz. my car is simply sitting right now in a garage. may just send it over to kmiata. i'm like 195 whp, stock k i think is 220+ whp and some easy mods to get some more n/a power. not sure how this works with things like emissions if i end up with a frankencar tho

I can tell you my 355mm rotor and 4 piston brembo caliper is maaaybe 5mm of clearance on 18” wheels. Obviously offset and wheel configuration matter but I just don’t see it happening with a 17
I can't wait for these videos to get posted in the Thirdgen.org forums. So we can rile up all the old stock TPI guys. "My TPI really shoves you in your seat! So much torque.."
Then gets passed by a 3 cylinder Yaris.

Move Over Supra, The Toyota GR Yaris Is Here - Speedhunters
This not just some marketing attempt at making a hot hatch out of a regular production car; this is a side project commissioned from the big boss at Toyota, in which engineers were unleashed to go all-out and create a superb little package for WRC homologation purposes. The result is something...

In the fucking 12's already. A fucking 3 cylinder is in the 12s my god that sound hilarious.
Seems to launch pretty hard.

IceCreamAssassin my little brother inlaw is a flat brim white sunglasses vapin Subaru nerd and hes had tons of really nice one but they all blew up.Id compare them to the 3800 Wbodies. Cool cars glass transmissions.
Subarus. Cool cars garbage engines.
I just disagree that it’s cooler than any Subaru ever. That is all.
