Factory Five Subaru based kit car

Hope this isnt a repost but for those who are semi disappointed with the FT-86 constant price shifting.
What's New

Based on tough Subaru WRX running gear, Factory Five's next car has been in development for almost a year. With a space frame designed and tested on SolidWorks software, this single donor car will sell for $9,900. We will use our 15 years of accumulated design and manufacturing skills to deliver a "world car" that can be COMPLETED for less than $15,000.
  • Single Donor Subaru WRX Running Gear
  • Factory Five Space Frame Chassis, 95" Wheel Base
  • Mid-Engine, Rear Wheel Drive Configuration
  • Target weight - 1,800 lbs.
  • Two Seater Roadster
  • No Paint, Gel Coat Panels
  • Target Kit Price: $9,900
  • Target Vehicle Completion Cost Under $15,000
  • Design Partners: SolidWorks Software, Grassroots

Automobile Magazine wrote the following:
"Have you ever wondered what would happen if you stuffed a Subaru WRX motor into something that's mid-engined, rear-wheel-drive, and weighs less than 2,000 lbs.? Because that's the next Factory Five car - a two-seater built around inexpensive and indestructible Subaru running gear. The styling isn't finalized, but I'm imaging something that looks like Lancia Stratos. And if you don't break into a creepy serial-killer smile every time you imagine an affordable, WRX-based Stratos, then you are some kind of weirdo. The car's new wheelbase is locked in at 95" which is a little longer then an Exige."

The concept itself looks like the attack that was based on the accord but that's not a bad thing.. along with an ej257+1800 lbs sounds pretty awesome to me.

<--may just get rid of the LS1 swap in progress..
