This argument over under-powered and over-priced is funny. I am not going to argue the point of it being over-priced because people are willing to pay different prices for stuff. I believe it is priced high because of hype and like most of you have said it will settle in the next couple years. The argument over it being under-powered is stupid for someone to argue. Most will always want more power you will never be saying "No I dont want to add any hp cuz I dont want to mess with the driveability". If you do then

. You always want more. Even if you are driving something that is fast to begin with...how long is it before that doesnt feel fast anymore and you go under the hood to try and get more out of it? I mean look at the Lotus for example...why would you dual-charge the thing? Was it not an awesome "driver's" car out of the box? But I digress this kid is all about his FRS/BRZ/MX5's and he wants you to be to. Don't say anything negative about it. There is no room for improvement as this is the pinnacle of car development as we know it

I mean the magazines say so....

lol I know Lotus Elise owners who are perfectly happy without charging.

But you are right, people always want more power (for some reason). There are plenty people who think the 370z is underpowered. That boggles my mind. Hell, there are GTR owners who crave more power out of their whips. But I'm ok with the FRS/BRZ/MX5 having lower power numbers out the gate. There is nothing wrong with 150-200hp in a lightweight car. It is gobs of fun.

I hear you shadoquad. I am not hating on the BRZ/FRS. I generally like the look of them. The first white one sold here is at the speaker shop in town already getting work done straight from the show room floor. I would like to drive one to see what all the hype is about. Unfortunately they are all sold when they reach the dealer and no chance of test driving unless you order one and put down a deposit. At least that is the way it is around here.

Hennessey Venom GT = Lotus on steroids...lots of steroids!
