I'm sure turbo kits will pop onto the market as soon as the car is released, but C'MON subaru! This was the first new car I've been excited about in a long time (other than the GTR of course) and it turns out to be over-hyped, pre-release specs watered down to a beige version of what it could have been.

I would highly encourage you to check out the "News and Rumors" Forum on NASIOC, if you have not already.

There have been quite a bit of astute conversations on this car since its inception, and none of them have been anything but the FB20 as an NA and RWD (aside from some people harping on about AWD).

I have been keeping up with this information, personally, for quite some time, and I have never seen information or Press bundles released with anything more than that.

There is now speculation about an STi model of the BRZ, but that is at least a model year off.
