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.
