Yup, I noted that too in my earlier post.

But 125hp/litre sounds to me like an awful lot for a low end engine. I mean Ferarri's 458 gets the same specific output and it's max power occurs at 9,000 rpm. Honda's S2000 was 237 bhp @ 8,3000 for 119bhp/litre. I don't think Subaru would go to the expense and trouble of designing an engine to rev that high.
Just my 3&1/2 cents.

Exactly. And great examples. 250hp out of 2.0L NA on a 2800 lb car sounds optimistic and can be done if the engine design were groundbreaking. Figures like that could catapult this car closer to the $40k-$50k or more range. You don't need to be super knowledgeable to figure out what is common sense.

Won't stop some of those members from crying though. They'll proceed to complain about price.
