It's not that we're missing your point, it's that it's a silly way to look for a car you're supposedly interested in. You're looking at HP numbers and price, and nothing else. You're going to be sorely disappointed if you're expecting the FT-86 to compete with the GC or the 370Z in magazine tests - at least in horsepower relevant tests.

Does this video make sense to you? If not, just go grab another Camaro SS or Mustang GT and be on your way. But take note of how high the MX-5 finished in this comparison (edit: 3rd place, behind the Cayman and R8) against some great competition, and you might begin to understand the potential behind the FT-86, and why a $27k sticker price (not that I think it'll be that high) could be warranted.
