I could mention many reasons why an NA internal combustion engine cannot reach more than 100 hp/lt based on latest regulations for exhaust gas emissions, especially for EU. But since we are not at university, we do not have to go deeper ...
You cannot expect more than 240 bhp in case an fa24 NA is applied. For anything more, they will naturally have to go to forced induction... It's that simple ... Στάλθηκε από το CLT-L29 μου χρησιμοποιώντας Tapatalk |

Wow. This thread has become a bummer. I could have accepted some type of hybrid tech. Using that to add some nice torque and keep weight low and balanced by placing batteries down in the back. But hearing Toyota and Subaru is planning an about face with regards to the ethos of the car is heartbreaking. The reason I bought this car is because it was the only lightweight rwd manual coupe at an affordable price. If those things are going away so am I as a customer.

Meh, don't really care, either I keep my current boosted 86 for a few more years, or I buy something else.
Nothing to really sweat about. Maybe a clean old Mk2 MR2 to take me off into retirement. Highly modified of course

Since this car first came out there as been a vocal group yelling "THEY NEED TO ADD POWER IF THEY WANT TO SELL MORE". More power does not sell more cars but gadgets, comfort, and practicality for daily use do. For every STi sold there are a few hundred WRXs. For every few hundred WRXs sold there are a several thousand Imprezas of varying trim levels. The majority of compact car buyers do not give one shit about power for the sake of power! They also don't care about weight or drive wheels as much as mileage and operating costs. The bloody Prius has sold 100,000 to 2000,000 units a year (until the last couple of years at least) which is telling where the compact car buyers priorities are. THESE are the people they are now targeting not us! If ichi is even half right then this scenario will lay out one of 4 ways. Ichi is wrong and they produce another small volume niche car with all the thigs that the internet romours they will have. It will continue to sellat much the same rates it does now or The 2nd gen will focus on volume, take off and sell tens of thousands of units to moms and dads around the world. This forum will become a wasteland since they will not be looking to modify or change their fun little cars in any way. or It will flop and the Board of Directors will tell development to go back the the roots of the first gen. This isn't likely but possible. or It will flop and they just can the marque completely. This is my prediction. When all is said and done they are a business not a charity set up to serve the desires of such a small group of the car buying public that there are several zeros between the percentage point and the number. Instead of being angry we should be glad that they gave us this gift for the 8 years they did. As ichi said anybody that has one should hang onto it. Anybody that wants one should buy it. Anybody that wants to upgrade to a new one (as I am) should do it. Anybody that wants to wait and see what is actually coming should wait, but they then lose the privilege of complaining if they don't like it and find they can't get a new or good used first gen. On a more positive note if the second gen does indeed suck we will see the end of the whining about depreciation on the first since they will suddenly hold value really well!

Depends on the car. Depends on the driver. What car? A sock Hayabusa with even an average rider will lay consistent high 9"s.
