I am torn between both sides honestly...

I'm completely content with 200hp NA. I think it will be a blast to drive much like the s2000 and Miata are known to be. Look how infrequently you see turbo'd s2000's, seems like most owners are more than happy with NA.

I agree that 200hp is comparatively low, at least when weighed against other offerings. In a perfect world I would love something a bit closer to the s2000. 225 - 250hp would be amazing. Sadly I doubt we'll see anything near that even with a few thousand in bolt on mods.

Is forced induction the answer? maybe for some, I will live happily with 200hp and whatever I can squeeze out with I/H/E + tune. As much as a sub 6 or even near 5 sec 0 - 60 sounds great, It won't will benefit me enough to justify the expense.

With a factory turbo/supercharger I would expect this car's MSRP to jump 2 - 4k which would hurt my chance's with it since I want a well equipped model and over 30k is too much for me to justify on a car with my income level.
