The physical metrics demonstrate why this engine change reshapes the vehicle's dynamic behavior across competitive lobbies:
| Configuration | Horsepower & Torque | Curb Weight & Balance | Typical GT7 PP Bracket |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stock Subaru BRZ (FA20) | 197 hp / 151 lb-ft | 1,230 kg (53:47) | 450, 500 PP |
| Base 3UZ-FE Conversion | 296 hp / 325 lb-ft | 1,265 kg (55:45) | 570, 610 PP |
| Fully Tuned 3UZ-FE Track Spec | 540, 580 hp / 460 lb-ft | 1,085 kg (54:46) | 650, 700 PP |
Even in untuned form, the 3UZ-FE more than doubles available low-end torque while adding only about 35 kilograms over the stock boxer engine. When fully developed with high-compression pistons, racing camshafts, and independent throttle bodies, the engine produces close to 580 naturally aspirated horsepower. It revs smoothly to 8,200 RPM, producing an intoxicating, bass-heavy exhaust note that stands apart from standard GT7 sports car fields.
