Currently, neither Honda nor Toyota make anything remotely engaging for the sports car enthusiast. Quite the contrast from 10-15 years ago, when Hyundai was held in the same regard as Kia (and possibly less). Props to Hyundai
One thing I noticed is, the 2.0 is spec'd to run on 87 octane. I'm willing to bet a tune and a tank of 93 adds 35-50hp
no shit? 87. nice. and it looks like it has tons of potential if it's based off the 4b11 engine from mitsubishi. chances are it's running lower boost as well. up the boost to evo-esque specs...or at least ralliart lancer specs, throw some 93 octane in and a tune, and i'd be willing to bet it falls between 240-250 to the wheels. add the breathing mods and this thing could be in the 250-270 range easily. granted it's still a bit heavy, but i'd probably take the 2.0T over the v6 in terms of a higher ceiling to start with.
get a reasonable s/c kit for the v6 and i'd look at that one more. my brother wants one, and i'd be willing to trade, but i'd wait for model year 2 at least just to let them work out the TSBs and such.
