In a perfect world (avoiding FI) the BRZ would have weighed 200lbs less, or came with a 2.5L engine (at the current price, for both scenarios). If that was the case, would I still want more power? Yeah maybe a little, but nothing that bolt-ons couldn't solve. Meanwhile to get what I want from the car as it exists in this world I need to go FI, which isn't as desirable due to the increased cost and potential for reduced reliability, nevermind loss of vehicle warranty.  |
I'll take a 2.5L 200hp 185tq engine BRZ! I bet it would get better MPG and run cleaner too...
