Depends on the price.

My FR-S was my first new car, so I'm not likely to sell it and jump on the next iteration and lose a bunch of money.

It would need to compete with, just as an example, the Innovate Motorsports supercharger for $4,000.

Personally, I'm content with the stock power output, engine longevity and fuel economy of the FA20 motor. :-)

And it never will be priced like that. It costs far more money for a company as large as Fuji to integrate such a system into their products. And I still hold true that even if an actual BRZ STI is released, the majority of the world will never get it just from the cost-benefit of having to export such a car (it's the same reason why other STI cars other than the WRX never get released globally)

At this point a BRZ STi is as real as unicorn farts. Any report to the contrary without reputable sources within Subaru are just designed to get internet traffic.

This is new and exciting. I've never heard news or rumors like this before. Musta been a slow news day for torquenews. They prolly just got several thousand clicks.
