They should take the FR-S/BRZ platform and shove the engine/trans/firewall/windshield/front-seaters aft about 20" or so to make a modern 2000GT with 50/50 weight distribution at 2600-2700 lb, for less than $30k (totally doable). With optional 300hp turbo or 3.0 H-6
Nah, makes too much sense, they'll never do it
Haha yeah, that would be awesome though.

I think something along those lines will come out in the next 2-3 years. Might not check all of those boxes, but will come close. With the number of people who almost bought the BRZ/FR-S but didn't because of the lack of power, I think manufacturers are on notice. Whether it's the 2015 update to the Twins, the new lighter Mustang GT, 4th gen RX7, or new lighter Z car, one of those has to come close.
