I must admit, these guys are exactly why Subaru needs to build a turbo model if they expect to sell any in the states of Texas and Florida. There aren't any winding roads in those states; it's all about straight-line speed. I was talking about it on the MR2 boards and low and behold it was a guy from TX and a guy from FL whining about it's lack of power.
I don't know about Florida but there's a few twisties in Texas for sure.

If they want turbos on their cars, or more power then they can put a turbo on themselves, buy a WRX, Mustang or other infinite cars with more power.

200hp will be enough in this car. Sure I would like a bit more but no more than 230-240. And definitely not turbo. N/A only.

The only reason I would want more power is for bragging rights and to compete with other cars like the 350z or whoever. And really, I'm not 18 anymore, I don't race; I just want an engaging drive a good seating position, good shifter and decent power.

If my wife's Prius has enough passing power, then the BRZ/FRS will be just fine.
