I don't consider the FRZ re-engineered. The Chassis is ground floor from scratch for all but a few small things (which here will always be). Paying for that capital and R&D is why you get much less "car" for the same money as the WRX. Its why the FRZ is so expensive for is #'s. Many of us bought the FRZ for the ground up sports oriented chassis.
As been said many times in a decade there will be several options for more power (including a FA20DIT variant)but you can never upgrade the chassis. Especially with this thing selling over 40k units a year just in the US there will be many less expensive upgrades. Next year we will probably be able to buy an innvoate with romraider tune for under $3k.
The more of these they sell the less expensive the power upgrades will become due to volume. I think this was part of Tada's plan.
