If a current BRZ costs $26k, I would have no doubts an STI version would run $8k more. Brakes, tires, wheels, upgraded internals, larger radiator, oil cooler, upgraded and strengthened suspension components, as well as the drivetrain. Throwing an extra 100hp on a car requires a massive overhaul. This would of course would cannibalize sells of the current STI. People can argue that companies are slapping turbos on these cars left and right, but they don't have to worry about OEM reliability.
