If you're looking for a big power number, the FR-S/FT-86 is already off your radar. If you want power-per-dollar, you're likely drooling over getting a new Mustang 5.0 GT. $30,105 for 412HP is impressive @ $73/HP, with the V-6 Mustang and both engine Camaro's not far behind at about $75/HP.
There are plenty of cars out there that will be much quicker than the FR-S. Personally I'm not interested; let them be quicker. We're not buying a Bugatti Veyron here, we're buying a sexy coupe' version of a Miata. It's all about momentum, not power.
Now, if Toyota had the balls to come out with a turbo-Diesel FR-S, I'd be all over it! Ever since VW cancelled the Bluesport Roadster and Audi R4, I'm still waiting for someone to belly up and make a proper Diesel sports car. That's the current recipe for have-your-cake-and-eat-it-too.
