AshWilliams, I can completely understand where you are coming from. I was a little bit disappointed when the official power output numbers came in; however, upon reading the reviews on it's handling potential and especially the phenomenal curb weight, I immediately changed my mind. In my opinion this is the perfect tuner's car - we will have so many options in the next few years to modify everything. Like EvoFanatic mentioned, adding boost is one option which I'm sure will be very popular for us tuner geeks. I for one am still debating on whether to stay NA just to see what numbers I can get out of it, or boosting it via my own custom turbo setup (i personally don't like superchargers). Either way, I'm extremely excited about working on this engine to make it how I like it.
Obviously not everyone feels the same way. In the end, I suppose I'm just a car nerd who loves to get his hands dirty. That being said, this car is perfect for me.
