If I could have 30hp for just 7lbs I would be down with that. 107lbs is pushing it though. I will admit the torque dip was annoying me but the rest of the experience more than made up for it. I am much more happy with the car on E85 but even then I wouldn't mind having more power. Does it need more power, no. But who wouldn't want more power assuming all other things stay the same. As it is people throw headers, exhaust, E85 and tune on these things and gain more than 30HP and actually lose weight.

I've always felt the flaws of the 86 platform only serve to give the car more character

Anyway, you said you were frustrated that other cars were getting power bumps when the 86 wasn't. If you think the 86 doesn't need more power, why would that frustrate you? This is the kind of stuff I was talking about earlier when I said that your opinions lead me to believe the 86 isn't the car for you. If you're frustrated that other cars have more power and the 86 doesn't, why not just buy a different car that has the amount of power you want? Just doesn't make sense to me. |

I doubt the twins could get much more power without a purpose built engine. As already the upgraded 5 hp cannot be sold in Europe. |

I also wish the 86 had a more convenient place to put a phone, for that matter. Doesn't mean I need to go look for a completely different make and model of car to buy. |

I'm just using that as an extreme example of something that I might "complain" about but obviously isn't a dealbreaker when it comes to buying an entire car. Just like engine power. |
