We did not weigh the car personally, but the curb weight is supposedly right in the neighborhood of 3,300 pounds. The gross vehicle weight rating (maximum safe operating weight including passengers, cargo, fluids, etc.) is 4,188 pounds. It's a pretty light car and I imagine we will see some pretty good numbers on the butt dyno once we've had our way with it. Very much looking forward to that

Yea, I think there is potential for a really favorable $/performance ratio with tuning and modifying this car. Definitely more so than the V6.

My question to you guys is will you offer a cooling kit much like the GM one for the non RS owners? Your cooling kits on my FRS were awesome BTW. You guys are the first to hit the ground running with the 2.0T with ZZ Performance at a distant second, but they only cater to the ATS crowd.

Thanks for the comments though and glad our cooling kit worked so well for you on the Toyobaru!
Regarding the cooling kit, it's possible, but hard to say at this time! We're still early on with this car, but there will be some pretty cool stuff in the works shortly. Definitely a really cool idea though - thanks for mentioning it and - this goes for everyone - please don't hesitate to chime in with any more ideas or thoughts on what you want out of this car! My ears are open.
Thanks,
