Therein lies the crux of this car being rejected by those blinded by the Horsepower Wars.

It's not an ignorant reluctance to add power, it's the calculated moderation of balance. The vehicle developers aren't going to add power [and thus cost/complexity] and give up their ideals for the sole reason of satisfying the naive and ignorant internet bench-racing mongers.

To review. The Zx6 is not a Japanese Mustang; it is a coupe' Miata. It boils down to this: if you don't already love the driving dynamics and man/machine oneness of the Miata, the Zx6 is not your brand of Vodka. Like Levi said, there are a good selection of affordable cars out there to quench a power-hungry driver.
