What they're really talking about is power delivery. Peak numbers don't tell the whole story. 200hp, IMO, would be fine in this car if a) it revved faster or peaked at a lower RPM and b) had more torque to back it up in the lower rev range.
So when people say "needs more power," sometimes they're not being clear enough. I test drove an ND before I bought my BRZ and the ND felt a HELL of a lot faster. It has 155hp. So, again, peak numbers don't always tell the tale.
By comparison, I have an 04 Mustang GT that only has 240hp. It can donut all day long and throw me back in the seat like the BRZ could only dream about. Why? The GT probably has 700 pounds on the BRZ. The reason is because the GT's got torque, a lot of it, and it's all down low.
Power delivery is what makes the difference. Peak numbers don't. And most people don't like the delivery of the power in the 86s.

Oh okay. I see what you mean. Good explanation!
Yeah TQ could be improved for city driving
But it's still fine as is in stock form for me.
