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.

We all have different ideas of a really good power/weight ratio and for me it has to be 12lbs/1hp or lighter. I prefer between 10-12 lbs/hp not a supercar fighting 5-9 lbs/hp. Another thing that I consider is torque to weight ratio as that is a even better measure for a daily driver IMHO. My rsx is 20lbs/1tq as my car weighs 2800 lbs with 140 tq and I can barely feel it too. I have a feeling the FT might put out the same torque to weight ratio as my rsx.
