I still wish this car had more displacement. I went for my third test drive recently with a used manual transmission FR-S and that lack of torque in the mid range really bothered me this time.

If only they would give it a bit more torque/power (particularly in the mid range), this car would basically be perfect.

Yeah, I don't doubt that it's possible to tune it/mod it to my liking but at what cost... I don't like the idea of spending a bunch of money, potentially lowering the reliability, and possibly voiding my warranty to achieve that. I just wish it were like that from the factory or that there was some simple intake kit and factory tune that would fix it. I dunno... we'll see. I'm going to go for a long test drive when the 2014 models come out to figure out how likely some light mods will fix the power dip and if I can really live with it or not. I just hate feeling like I'm not moving when the pedal is mashed to the floor. But maybe I just need to adjust my driving style to stay in the power band at high RPMs. Although I would still prefer not to have to...

This and cams/intake manifold are my next buys now that I have boost but all of them are a long time coming.

Are there any CAMS out for our cars yet? I'm on the fence between going HKS S/C or a fully built/stroked N/A.. :/
