Is this coming here? Every review says the same thing; this car needs more power. Are you guys listening to us?

200hp is plenty for a 2500lb car. my tc is 160hp on 2900lbs...

so the frs has 12.5 weight/hp ratio, whereas my tc has 18.125. that's 1.5x more power, and my little tc is already pretty zippy and fun to drive. this car is gonna be AWESOME

plus, it's probably gonna get pretty decent mileage for all that power. even the civic si, which weighs more gets 22-31. yay powerful N/A 4 bangers!

It's not a 2500lb car. The BRZ is closer to 2800, and I doubt the FR-S will be much lighter.

my bad, i thought i had read 2500 somewhere. still lighter than my TC and with 20% more HP, so should be plenty fun. less torque than the TC though by about 10 lbs. that thing DOES jump off the line in 1st.

I think the BRZ is close to 2765 pounds

The FR-S we don't know yet...but hints are closer to 2700 pounds..

These are not dry weights...because in japan the loaded 86 is 2711 pounds dry..

Then all you've got to do is wiring, manifolds and piping. No big deal, just some time, money and creativity.

.... now why would you disable direct injection? dont DI FI motors get better power and non DI FI motors?(saying both have forced injection just different injection system)
