So far, you have conversed with me entirely in pictures. And I'm the troll? Do you even know what "trolling" means?

Its all about balance and lightness..the FRS doesn't need high HP or AWD to make very fast times. It just needs to play to its strengths. Make Full use of that super low COG and a 2000-2500lbs dry chassis. Now if your talking about breaking time barriers in the 2wd catagory, like in Tskuba. RX7 is a competitive beast. The SuperNow 600hp FC3S did Tskuba recently in 54 sec.

I voted NA because it is still my favorite. In the case of the GT86/BRZ, one wanting more power will need more displacement, what is limited by the engine block, or just another bigger engine, what may not go into the engine bay. Now on the stock engine I would prefere a supercharger if I will want more power. I would also go for a turbo engine if it is done by Subaru STI. I wouldn't go aftermarket turbo charger as it would be a simple setup and have turbolag. It won't be any twin-scroll turbocharger.

N/A = Pure
Turbo = Laggy dyno queen disconnected throttle response Supercharger = enhanced N/A with emotional and acoustic corruption For me, N/A is ideal. I'm all for a good TVS or twin-screw if N/A doesn't get the job done. Turbo's are for Diesels, rally cars, or dyno queens, but don't belong in a simple/pure sports car like the FT-86. If none of that works, an Arc Reactor sounds like hella fun.

LOL! LSx engines are fantastic [and a benchmark example of what makes N/A so great, mind you]. I not-so-secretly want a Corvette solely for its engine.
