The K series is a beast though. You can make serious NA power with that engine. It's the best 4 cylinder engine around for modding. 300+whp NA is amazing. I don't see any FA20 pulling that off very easily. A few simple mods can net 250whp and that is fantastic power.
I almost bought a civic SI before putting money down on a BRZ. 8th gen sedans are pretty sweet cars. 9th gen is just meh. I just wish the FA had the potential that the K series has in stock form.
RWD is a better platform to start with. But I wouldn't rule out the SI based on that alone. They can perform very well at the track in stock form, but with a little mods it will really come alive. Making power is cheap in the SI vs the FRS, just because mods create such large gains on the K.
I'm just being a devil's advocate here. I love the BRZ. But the SI shouldn't be shunned so quickly. They are both great cars.
