If they found a way to keep it @ 2900lb max and have a turbo 275hp/280lbs tq? This car would be speaking volumes to the masses. Keep the price @ 33k max. And this car would rule

While we'd always love more power, that's not the point of this car. It's supposed to be an entry level sports car that offers great performance for the price. It's not supposed to be in the same class as the 370z as its $5k+ cheaper.

Of course the mods you mentioned would be great, but for $33k that defeats the intentions of this car. The Masses want a $25k entry level giggle machine. Those with deeper pockets would go with a Z or something higher in the spectrum.
