This thing could be brilliant with some boost and an extra 80hp and some more TQ. Missed chance in my book.

And then it's no longer under $30k or 2800 lbs.
Adding the turbo stuff adds 100 lbs to the front of the car, now you need a beefier transmission, half-shafts, brakes, etc. Pushing the car up north of 3000 lbs and probably into the mid-30s or more for price.
IE competing with base Mustang GTs that are approaching 500 hp stock. Mid-30s is also where the base STi starts. Where the 400 hp Z is supposed to start.
It doesn't make sense.
