I’d be all over a 2g if it had the same chassis, very similar looks and an FA24 with higher redline and say 230hp. The weight of the FA24 without a turbo would probably be in line with the FA20 so power to weight ratio should be good. Seems that would be an economical formula for Toyota/Subaru. I don’t think it would change the car in a way that would turn away the current fan base but may pull in new fans. Scratch that, 230hp isn’t enough to convene the people that don’t understand power to weight ratio. You would probably need 260hp before you pull in new people.
