You can get it fairly easily. To go up in power, the cost of the vehicle is going to go up, as is the insurance to insure it, 2 things which will price the car out of its targeted slot of being a sub-$30k sports car.

Thus my comment about an STI model. I'm certainly not expecting Subaru to abandon its current BRZ market, just expand its options. Other than the brutish quasi-muscle car known as the 370Z there is really no rwd sports car competitor for a mid-$30K STI variant with about 250HP out there. They'd sell like hotcakes.
