Maybe that video will finally put to rest that the FA20 motor is "too underpowered." Toyota and Subaru built that motor strong and Crawford themselves said it was the best boxer motor the've ever seen.

Hey look at Toyota in WEC. The TS030 put up a good fight.

Very brief test-drive today.

Couldn't get into the clutch engagement point, but I suppose I would in time. It definitely seemed a bit imprecise in engagement to me vs. my GT-S w/Fidanza flywheel & TRD clutch.

From what I could tell the suspension was nice enough. Definitely needs sways - told the salesman that right away. LOL

What was nice was the driveability. As vague as the engagement point was it wasn't like trying to take off in the GT-S from a stop. That was easier. But the ability to just hit the gas and go somewhere without either waiting or downshifting was nice. It's torque was helpful compared to the GT-S despite the added weight. This would be easier to drive around town.

LOLZ - I just put them on. I know how it feels w/OEMs+snows. I stand behind what I said!
