Honestly, if you think about it, all Subaru really needs to do is make this:

Throw on all the optional STI aftermarket parts on a BRZ limited, take off some weight, improve the handling a bit, add some power and call it a day. We're probably never gonna get some sort of F/I standard with the car so instead of pouting over it, focus on something else: weight.

Go from a 200hp, 2800lb car to a 240hp, 2500lb car. Honda S2000 power in a Miata
