it comes down to numbers... hp... price.. price is down to where it should be for the hp you get with the non srt models now (about 22k)... but in reality the car does not match the quality of a 22k car, it is far higher a quality than that... so the easiest way to go about this is to raise the hp some and sell it at a proper price point, 28k..

as the old saying goes... horsepower is what sells the car but torque is what moves it... thats why it is not selling but it runs times comparable to higher hp cars...

porsche just announced their new 240ish hp 270ish tq cayman with 5 speed manual... for 50k you can handle like a crossfire and accelerate 0-69 .4 seconds faster than a non srt model... hmmm WHAT ? .4 seconds for 25 hp and 40 tq more... eek
