Porsche is one of those :bellyroll:
Great why don't you join a Porsche forum and stay out of the BRZ/FR-S specfic forums if you don't want to talk or hear about the cars.

The fa20 is a brand new engine! give it at least one year on the market before you talk about developing a new one...

Well, I also think the 2.5 will be replaced across most of the Subaru lineup for the 2.0. MPG, MPG, MPG.....

Except for the head subaru engineer saying things like, "we want to keep turbocharging separate. It is for models like the WRX STI.”

I agree, they already said they're putting the fa20 in the next gen wrx

I really hope that does not apply to a supercharger as well... I would actually prefer a supercharger in this car vs a turbo...

I hope they never plan to turbocharge it... that would kill the value of my newly purchased frs. Kind of like owning a nonturbo mr2 vs the turbos.

Now THAT would be a great little performer & excellent bargain...
This is familiar to me. Where have I seen one of these? :D

I think people need to appreciate the car for what it is. A well balanced fun to drive rwd sports car.

I did tons of research before I bought the car. I could have gone the more powerful Mustang route, the Camaro route, or hell even a Civic Si that has way more features and was cheaper.

I went with the FRS and never looked back. Why? All those other cars I mentioned are on the roads every day and I can spot one of each during just about every car trip. Even going a mile down the road. I've seen 1 BRZ. The car is original and special. I love it. :party0030:
LOL ! Soon BRZ and FRS will be flooding the street...even more than Civics. Those Civics fail to keep up.

I wonder... lol

Who are you kidding? You're testing the Beta STi/TRD factory version under all of our noses--hiding in plain sight!

Seriously, your car would be the perfect template for a factory Turbo high-performance variant.

hanabie 06-26-2013 08:53 PM
lol 250hp! You are really looking into another 35k-40k msrp. There is no way going to be sub 31k msrp. keep dreaming

Since everyone else is giving their opinion and what not, let me just answer the question that user mit_peid asked... It would have to be $30K maximum... Plain & simple thank you very much...

What if A) you didn't own one of the twins yet, therefore B) you wouldn't have to take the hit in depreciation, and C) the super twin will be available in 3 months and they're taking orders now?
