This is what I would like to see with the FT86. It would be nice if they say managed to bump up the power to 230 hp and get rid of the torque dip and lose a bit weight and so on. Just keep on being more competitive.
They did do this to a certain degree for the 2017 model by giving 5 hp more and shorter gears. It's not much but it is something.

The Mazda got a massive 17hp increase. It also got heavier.
Add power and lose weight? Have you not been listening? If they add power weight will creep up. Short of redesigning the car from the ground up each time it would be inevitable. That and we start heading up the price ladder yet again.
Those slight changes in 2017 added 22 pounds to the car.
