ETA: WTF are people doing on the streets where the stock FR-S/BRZ is "underpowered"? Easy three digits on the speedo on an uphill passing lane is enough for most people.
ETA again: This sort of thing makes Mr. Tada really hate selling cars in the US. He designed this awesome little machine, slipped it past the suits against all odds, and people still bitch.

To overtake in an FRS on the highway, I need to downshift like 2 or 3 gears and floor it and it still takes a good bit to overtake and get back in my lane.
In my wife's focus st, I simply floor it in whatever gear I'm in (6th usually) and the torque makes it easy work and takes no time at all.
Underpowered is a subjective term. I don't feel like it's UNDERpowered, but at the same time, I don't think a little more from the factory would hurt.
