Having test driven one, I can honestly say it’s a contender for my next vehicle. With an LS1… Well, let’s just say that I’d end up in jail for one of these. ---

> [@Bsp TC](#): > > Its a blast to drive, but I highly doubt this would keep the balance any where close. Possibly. Many LS swaps a bunch of weight is dropped with an aftermarket subframe and headers to get cose to the weight it was replacing. I didn’t find the weight of the BRZ motor in a quick search. Anyone have it? Assuming the turbo version will have another 50-100lbs up front I would suspect the LS and weigt distribution could be similar. ---

BRZ motor is basically a 2.5 Subaru Boxer motor ---

I love mine, It could use a little more power, but after driving it in some turns you can really appreciate what it does. ---
