No way a mildly turbo'd FR-S/BRZ would end up weighing 3200 lb. as suggested above.
I'd say that +50hp, +100 lb. wouldn't be unreasonable to expect. IMO, that'd be the way to go, they could have big strength/life margins on components, and we could easily tweak it to 300+hp at our own risk. That'd be FINE w/ me!

this isnt fair though because the motor in the miata was meant to have a turbo. there wasnt alot of acquired weight because the car already had it when they decided to turbo the thing
