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.

You don't HAVE to go FI to get what you want, you just want a different car. Lezbihonest.
