Wait, so it has a single-scroll turbo, steel arms, no rear Brembos and it's not a coupe?

And heavier than the "non-motorsports" car it's based from.

WHAT IS THIS, FAUX MOTORSPORTS TYPE R??????! WHERE IS ALL THE WEIGHT SAVINGS. WEIGHT SAVINGS IS MOTORSPORTS.

I can't be seen lapping the local grocery store parking lot in this FRAUD OF A MACHINE.
