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.

A supercharged TRD FR-S
240-250 hp
190-195 tq
2,775 lbs
$27,000(if base is $22,500) add $3,000 for the TRD lip kit.
Wouldn't need brake upgrades since the brakes is straight from a WRX. This car would be EPIC!!!!
