Nope, I missed it. Copy/paste mistake from other places I posted where I already had price entered in a separate field. Thanks for the catch, I've updated it with the price.

In terms of value per price point:

WRX > Ecoboost
Vette > 5.0
V6 > all (identical to EB performance for $5k less)

V6 = best bang-for-buck of all Mustangs

I'd be thrilled if the BRZ had a 270-300hp FA24 turbo but I doubt it will. I expect it to be NA for reasons of liability, weight, and so it doesn't encroach on STI sales. But mostly cost. It would...
