s2k's are only awesome because they must have over 100k under the hood...

I expected this due to the hype of the car + limited production

Good lord. The car will have lots of potential for sure. But it's hard to fork the cost for the car itself.

Damn. I do hope my dealer is reasonable and doesn't try to squeeze me dry.

Can't say I didn't see it coming, in fact I told a friend of mine who's really interested in the BRZ to wait to see what pricing was gonna be like, but still- $31K for a NA 200hp car? I'm at 6062' MSL. That car would be absolutely nutless up here, unable to get out of its own way. Interested to see what the aftermarket does to address this lack of testes.

You are absolutely right. This naturally aspirated 2.0 liter will be huffing and puffing up the mountains here.
Again, this car is not designed for high horsepower, but maybe also not designed for high altitude (?)

Side note, is it possible to contact toyota/subaru and order a barebones car straight from factory for much cheaper?

Track beast ready.

It shouldn't really matter for this type of car, but I think it's straight line performance is going to be it's downfall. The RX-8 was a great handling sports car too. Hopefully an STi version can save the day.
