In that scenario you could have the base 170hp model come in at $20k like the article said, a mid range 230hp turbo gt-s at $24k, and a top end 265-275 TRD model in the 27-30k range which is more likely. I don't see the top end FT-86 getting close to 300hp as that would encroach way too much on the STi territory and Subaru won't let that happen even if toyota is calling all the shots. (of course Subie could also stop being little bitches and finally give the STi more power but since that hasn't happened since '04 I don't see them doing it any time soon) I hope I'm wrong and you're right though because NA 200hp ,Turbo 270hp ,TRD 350+ FT-86 would be awesome. |

20 hp to the ground is still pretty damn good for easy bolt ons. My point is this: a G35 coupe (pretty heavy car at what? 3300-3400lbs?) get's 0-60 in about 6 secs right? So Toyota already said the FT will weigh between 2700-2800 pounds correct? so subtract 500 pounds from 3400 and maybe 50 hp from 300hp for the FT and I think the it would go 0-60 in sub 6's with 250hp. Probably close to 5.5secs. That's pretty good. imo esp considering the price. You won't need 300hp with the FT to get a great performing coupe... |

How are you this sure, do you have some deep sources? If so, please do share that with us. Anyways, no it will not be 180 hp because this will not be the same 2.0 boxer engine, it will be a redesigned high revving engine. Their mark is to get at least 200 hp. Just wait and see,

When i read the many posts that mention how Subaru doesn't give an upgrade on their new 2011 STI's power....I chuckle.
Look how many boy racers who know nothing about circuit racing or rallying is easily pointed out. |

Why do people figure that a 2 door lightweight coupe is going to compete with a 4 door homologation special sedan? Anyway, as i was saying, "speed is expensive, how fast are you willing to spend?" +300hp in a 2800lb car would put it the $30k range, but honestly, how much do you expect to spend on a TRD/STi car? +300hp would also make it spank, nay, RAPE any of the cars you mentioned, especially if it weighs 2800lbs in that trim and is as balanced as the NA car (Being TRD you'd expect it to be). |

I'd rather the car cost $20K than have 200hp.
