So the Subie engineer Masuda-san asserted the BRZ will never see factory forced induction because they would have to add chassis reinforcements (read: weight) thus abandoning the "handling delight" essence of the car. But he did say, "We can fit tougher valve springs, and that would allow the BRZ to rev much higher, maybe to 9,000rpm." Interesting.
