Hm... I agree with both point of views. Craig's view as simple lightweight fr car, enough hp to have fun and other view as have turbo option for tuned track ready high hp car can beat other heavyweight FR cars.
It doesn't have to be one option engine only. It could have (my estimation)
- NA engine: 185~200hp/165~187tq, 6sp, 2600~2750lbs
- Turbo (small turbo) engine w 220~245hp/180~192tq, 6sp, 2660~2810lbs.
That give both of em bout .07~.08hp per lbs to work with.
If they want lightweight, high rev, NA car that don't need to worry too much bout boost control & oil pressure and other etc and just have fun can go for NA, while if they want a lightweight, high rev, turbo car that can put bigger turbo and other after market stuff for track to make other car eat your dust while having fun can go for turbo.
I don't see any reason to have NA ONLY or TURBO ONLY. More option = more people buying this car = success
