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.
