Similar, we've seen enough Top Gear to see what an Evo/STI can do with bigger guns. At the end of the day, it's not the American companies' faults that the overseas companies are less willing to or capable of making higher output production motors come into fruition, but it's a big part of how a lot of these cars are improving their track performance.

It's true for the Ford but GM has been using their LS engines for a while (GTO, G8) so it's good to hear they come up with a sub $40k car that can keep up with sub $100k cars
It's a shame that BRZ or FRS are not offered in FI from factory since I believe it's the only downfall of these cars
