Subaru is supposedly developing an STi version I'd estimate at 265-275 hp as to not cannibalize the WRX STi. The reason they're not turbo'd now is that with the N/A boxer engine it allows the engine to sit very low compared to a turbo'd version so it can achieve a low center of gravity. Pair that with 50/50 balance and you got one serious handling machine.
Though their acceleration is an embarrassment, I've seen an MX5 beat one and a Civic SI beat one. Both a lot less than the crazy marked up price ($26-30K) at the dealer brand new. I'd get a used S2000 before either BRZ/FR-S.
