most of what's been talked about so far is modding for power, and the known restrictions of the platform, which is what the OP wanted to know. no one said to not do it, just that this isn't a 2jz that can just simply manage 500 hp on the stock motor with only a tune, a few wrenches, and a turbo/manifold.

Certainly… Time will tell, but the 2nd gen seems to have a bit of reinforcements in the engine and tranny department relative to the first gen, which has been modded reliably to 270-300whp or more (70% to 100% increase over stock) by many (myself included), so It would be reasonable to expect the FA24 to be able to achieve at least that and possibly a bit more, since its baseline is already quite a bit higher than the stock first gen. And being significantly lighter than most more “powerful” car, one can really reach a nice power 2 weight ratio without going crazy, while benefiting the handling of a lightweight car.
