Right now the 5.0 is less then 9lbs per hp. I would assume a 250hp FT-86 is good for lows 14s and low 15s with a 200hp engine. I personally think they should use a new Subaru engine with about 300hp and that doesn't break with simple mods like the current STI engine.
Let's hear your thoughts...
Now put the joke on the side, why do you think JDM Supra, R32~34, NSX, & few other sports car had a limited 280hp? Recent yrs, Japanese auto industry have been going crazy and putting out over 280hp cars out, but there's ridiculous amount of fee gotta pay to have over 280hp stock cars annually. If this car push over 280hp, I can guarantee you this car will put into Z, STI, Evo price range... now why you wanna bring dying high hp cars genre?
