Journalists are stupid as fuck. Believe me, I was one. They read each others' work then repeat the same shit in their own articles. Somehow less power is just perfect in the Miata. Morons.

I could easily slap a turbo on the FRS, but honestly, why? I mean, lower reliability for not much more speed. It seems pointless. It's not going to be a rocket ship unless I put a big turbo on there, and it's not going to be reliable after that no matter what, even if I build the engine. Meanwhile, if I want to go over 100 mph, I just gotta wait a little bit longer than I did with my V8. So what?

Someday I might get a real straight line vehicle. It will probably have an electric motor. This whole underpowered idea for the FR-S is just stupid. 200HP and 2800 lbs? Older Ferraris had less than that.
