However, if the car can make 250hp NA + D4S in this decade that would be something to talk about.

At 2Krpm this D4S puts out more torque than my '02 S2000 did at 7krpm. And around town about 7mpg better. I like it.
Oh, and I want to add that 14 years later the FR-S is $4k less than the S2000, and for me a much more enjoyable all-around drive. Yes, it's built a little cheaper, but still great AND it has a roof!!
