I don't think he was saying 200hp is too low, the piece he quoted said "Assuming they manage to keep that BMEP while moving peak power to 7000rpms, the FT86 engine would have 175hp." I assumed he was saying 175hp is too low.
What's fun about stopping at a red light? Nothing. The fun comes in when that red light turns green.

And please stop proposing your thirst for power campaign here. Power is the most easily achievable mod; everything else is much more difficult...

If they [Subaru/Toyota/Yamaha] thought 175hp was acceptable for a redesigned performance oriented 2-liter boxer engine, it would make me wonder what other lackluster expectations they considered acceptable. I guess I'm weird in that I'm not going to reward a car company for building a car that I feel is an underachiever.
Put me on ignore if you don't want to read my thirst for power campaign. I don't mind. :happy0180:
