The subaru BRZ is at 2700 approx lbs. Which probably puts the Z and turbo brz in the same hp to weight ratio. Not to mention FI is a much more valid modifier.

I mean I'm not even going to pass any judgement till the turbo is on a track and competing. The BRZ seems like a pretty good pkg for what it is.

2700 lbs curb weight and 270hp is a nice package. And when gasoline hits $5-$6 gal it's gonna be a sweet spot.

Will the 270hp BRZ still weight at 2700lb? With higher horsepower, weight from the add-on such as turbo, bigger brakes, bigger wheels, chassis reinforcement and here and there.... It will NOT add 600lbs, but it will add some weight for sure, also, turbo wont deliver its true power until it kicks-in.

By the time the 270hp BRZ hit the road, there might be a 400z running around the street.
