A BRZ STI would benefit from tweaks to the standard 147kW 2.0-litre boxer motor that would reportedly peak power rise closer to 180kW. Other potential upgrades include modifications to its variable valve control system, re-developed intake, freer-flowing exhaust, and a raised rev-limit of 7500rpm.

Yea I remember that. I'm still going for the regular BRZ. 200HP is quite enough for my purposes
