probably because its still pretty down on power compared to the competition. i was out there this week and just about everything is both swapped and turboed. there was the one fa20 powered brz (i think) but it was so down on power that there wasnt any way it was going to be competitive. when you are side by side with a 2jz soarer or a vk56 swapped and turboed 350z, you need more than 2.0l
