I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that the subaru version will have a turbo. Not to mention, I'm sure the aftermarket as we speak have plans for this car once they can get their hands on one. So I guess what I'm saying is getting close to 370Z numbers shouldn't be too difficult. Not to mention have a back seat, better gas mileage, and a functional trunk. I'm no mechanic but those are just my thoughts, what do you think?
Thats an argument for the FR-S right there. The money savings alone and you can make the FT-86 as quick in the straight as the 370Z, considering the weight difference.

Of course, depends on your ability to ignore the dealer warranty.
