For an output of well over 200 hp (~230 hp) it will need a redline in the high 8k's. The key is the head and the vvt. I haven't seen anything even close to Honda's Vtec in this price segment. Hopefully Toyota/Subaru are working on something entirely new to make this output possible.

so what would they call that, avcs-i
or fo shits and giggles VAVCSL-I? for Variable Active Valve Control System with Lift (dont know where the I fits now, it could go before :P)
I agree with your statement though, but generally, peak tq happens well before peak hp in most cases, so lets say for arguements sake that max tq happened at 6800rpm, that would give us a hp of 195 give or take, given that, it would mean that the power band of this car would be in the mid/high rpms and generally would last til about the redline.
The more I think about it, the more I want this car, not that I didnt already but I just want to hear that engine screaming out at those revs while in its powerband
