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.

That is all fine and good but I want a car that drives like a Miata with the power of an Evo, Stang, or 370Z. Adding a turbo adds maybe 50-150 lbs depending on how big the system is. And I will be lowering the car and doing major weight reduction anyways so that extra turbo weight will be mitigated.
