I suggested that I don't need the power that a turbo would provide because things like bragging rights and comparisons to other cars like the Z aren't what I'm into anymore. I'd like only more N/A power because of the characteristics of the engine; the sound and the power delivery. And hopefully through mods I can get at least 20hp more.

I get what you're saying though. I often think that this car is barely faster than a Integra Type R, but I'm sure if I drove one of those today, it'd put a smile on my face.

Also a BRZ that could keep up with a 350z would be similarly priced.

I think I said it here before but my dream car was never really built. I don't want to get hyperbolic, but I think the FRS/BRZ is closest to it. I've always wanted an S2000 coupe and that's what I've imagined the FRS/BRZ to be.
A lighter G35 would have been my dream car, unfortunately, it came here as in infiniti and was too heavy and too expensive for me at the time. The new G37 has gotten way softer as a sports car and no longer fits my bill.

A 270hp BRZ priced a tad under 35k would be my ideal car. It would be the perfect balance of a sports car with good power and exceptional handling as opposed to the more one sided car it is right now. If it doesn't come before 2015 then I guess I'll be getting a regular BRZ as it is since it is the closest thing to what I want.
