That sounds bad a**, but there are a few reasons why we probably don't want to use a BRZ. Has nothing to do with the vehicle itself, but more to do with some company stuff and competition why that might not be a good choice for us.

Not to mention, that'd be a hell of a project getting the engine into a car with the center of gravity so low. I like it though.
