I cant help but think they dont have enough grunt


Those who moan about lack of grunt have completely missed the point and design purpose behind the car.

^Yup. And Ken Gushi (i think) said it's got just enough grunt.. So while not having excessive power its all about the balance.

Quite a bit of extra wheelbase there. Must do wonders to stability mid-drift.

For those who complain about power apparently you can swap in the ej257, as toyota/Subaru made sure both fb and ej share same engine mounts and bell housing.
