You can get quite a bit of power out of an FC for its weight :)

You can get above 500 horsepower on that light little car easier and cheaper than any other platform I can think of. Considering you're starting around 186 (Turbo S4?) that's pretty great...and the car will be ~2500 lbs with you in it?

You have to put a big turbo, 3mm seals, and suffer turbo lag, etc. almost any car can get a lot of power with a turbo but N/A power is the place for me.

I'm rebuilding my S2000 right now turning it into a 2.4L stroker for 300+ hp. :D
