i'm not saying balance can only be attained without a supercharger or turbocharger.
let me rephrase from my earlier post. this car is all about balance AND low cost. yes, you can add boost to this car and have a lot more torque and hp with minimal weight gains. and the car would cost $32k. not to mention all the added maintenance cost that boost demands. so what's the point, when there are so many other alternatives at that price point, like the 370z, genesis coupe, the domestic pony cars, etc etc.
no, the things that distinguish this car are awesome balance (as in low weight, compact dimensions, extreme low center of gravity) and inexpensive msrp (and a hardtop, to distinguish it from a miata).
