No, the currently planned engine output of 200hp does not make this car slow. Its not even underpowered at that weight/power ratio.

You know what an SR-5 AE86 is and how it differs from the GT-S? At sub $20k the car would literally come with a slug of a motor, not even 1% engineered for performance, would have a softer cheaper suspension, drum rear brakes, etc. Basically all looks and no umph.

Damn kids.
