True the important thing is that it has a v8 and is frecking awesome lol. I'm sure we will see a lot more swaps to come with this car.

That essentially is no longer a FRS/BRZ. Its just a shell with swapped/aftermarket everything, if it takes that to change your opinion on a car then you might be liking a lot more cars.

Sick video though, I want an IS-F BRZ!

Yeah its called a lot of wheel spin no weight balance whatsoever. Its like making a rear mounted motor with fail wheel drive. No place for the weight to go and get grip
