Now, they complain & bitch that they can't rev as AP1. Do you want Toyota/Subaru to follow same path? Cuz if Toyota/Subaru really did follow Honda's path and make FRS/BRZ w 2.5L H4 engine, I bet it'll make 180TQ, but I can bet you redline will drop to 6,250RPM.

Well I think a lot of people complained about the lower redline in the newer Honda S2K because that's what made that engine really unique. It had the highest mean piston speed and I think the highest redline for a production car engine at the time. It was a screamer! But the FA20 isn't like that. It has a modest redline of 7400 rpm. So I would have rather them played to the advantages of Boxer engines rather than try to replicate the advantages of an Inline 4.
