I registered just to tell you how utterly wrong you are. Australian V8 Supercars are naturally aspirated V8s.
Anyway, I am seriously keen for the BRZ (looks better than the 86 imo, especially in blue), here's hoping they bring them to Australia, but I'll settle for the 86 if need be.
As for forced induction, coming from a ~300bhp, 340lb/ft Focus ST, I'd prefer a little more torque in the 86/BRZ, but would need to drive one first to see whether I can live with 151lb/ft. I've been in an S2000 and found it sorely lacking in the low-mid range, but perhaps my driving style would need to change, I've got used to lazy low end torque from the turbo 5 cylinder in the Focus.
If a forced induction 86/BRZ could get around 200lb/ft that hangs around long enough to deliver 230-240bhp, with the same chassis dynamics, I think I would be a happy man.
