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.

You're right on the money. The journalists started this underpowered circlejerk. I'm ticked off that the Miata always gets a pass on that, and our cars get ridiculed for it.
The 240sx is revered as a chassis now. It's impossible to find one anymore, and they were far less powerful than our cars.
