They are overpriced as is...wondering how much more a turbo boost would cost.

A RWD, two seat, perfectly balanced 200 hp car for under $30K is overpriced?
200hp with 0 torque. No thanks. Not to mention you have to rev the 
out of it to get the 200hp. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if the 1.5T Civic is faster than the FRS/BRZ. If it was about 250hp and 250lbft, then it would be good.
But then it would be $40K.
How is Nissan doing a base 370Z for $30k?
Trying to get rid of old stock before the new one shows up. This model is a stripper, however and prior to this year was $40K.
The twins handle better FWIW. Weight is thy enemy with a sports car.

(He preferred the FRS)
So, the stripper model was available in the US since introduction. What's the price of a base FRS? I bet feature wise it's pretty comparable.
I'm sure that it is a great handler and a bit of a hoot, but I wouldn't touch one without it having a bit more oomph. When I am passing them on a road course (and one that is more setup for cars that can handle versus outright power) with an older 350Z, that tells me that it needs a bit more oomph. And for the record, they were not on factory tires but R-Comps, as was I.
