This 86/FRS/BRZ is great, but I've been willingly spending a lot of money on upgrades without any real improvement in performance (I'm talking HP). The idea of spending ~$5000+ on either a SC or turbo is an interesting idea, but I'm probably too much of a wuss to pull the trigger because I don't want to void my warranty. But if either Toyota, Scion, or Subaru came out from the factory with a 250hp version of their car for $30K, I would seriously consider trading in my FRS for a new upgrade. I understand we're just talking about hypotheticals here since we'd likely not see a FI-version from factory anytime soon, but what is your maximum $ threshold for trading in your current twin for a super 250hp twin from the factory?
