Ohhhhkay...
it the FT were to have an option of a engine similar to the NA version, but with a small turbo to just add some area under the curve, especially at low RPMs, I'm game for it to be on. I'd see here people wanting to spend the more money for a little more refined, torquey powertrain, and maybe a nicer interior. The people who are buying it to drive around on the street everyday.
But if the NA version is just a cheapo version and the turbo is the only choice for uprated suspension etc etc, I'll be pissed.
Furthermore, if the turbo version is built so stout like people are wanting, so it has 'giant-killer' capability...

the FT won't be either.
I really want the less power, more simple appaorach
on this car. Don't get me wrong, I love turbos. I've been raised on turbodiesels and hugely enjoy my WRX.
But with the FT... I want to buy a couple-year-old one in 2013-2014, when i graduate college, do a small build (tires, brakes, light stripping, light safety) and spend my time on the track. I don't want to have to buy a 1980s-1990s car to get a light, simple RWD hardtop - they'll be getting quite old, which means the engine'll want a rebuild for track use and the chassis will be about as stiff as asparagus.
Save the 'giant-killing' for other people and other cars, I don't want to read about highly tuned FT's in magazines or the internet... i want to be driving it. On the track. All the time.
