anything with low hp, a low center of gravity and a short wheel base with have "good handling". the whole point is the way the car is set up, its and artificial feel of performance. when you actually add some more hp to the car you will see how much it sucks as a platform. then to actually get it "working" again after the hp gain, your going to need to dump a lot of money into it (suspension, tires, transmission, clutch, ect.) the reason why the released it with only 200 hp, is because if they put even 300hp into it, i would have cost you atleast 10-15k more, and at the price point they are competing with camaro ss, challengers r/t, slightly used corvettes, mustang gts, 370z, bmw 300 series and more. also it would be in the same price point as their STi, and not many people are going to buy that car over those cars. The brz/frs is a popular because it is a cheap car that has a "fun" factor that would have a hard time winning a race vs a civic.

oh and just to prove my point further, heres some leguna seca times

Morph must have man crush on me. He won't respond to any one else's post. Maybe since im quoting this he will talk about it. Oh wait, he avoids anything with concrete numbers and will choose to rant about me saying man crush instead of anything technical. What a useful human being.

We just confirmed you're a creepy e-stalker in this thread, what on earth would make you think i want you speaking on my behalf?
Yeah, i really dodged those numbers eh? In fact, show me a time you have ever given relevant numbers to back up any argument you have made, you won't you prefer the baseless attacks.

The title of the thread was.

"Scion FRS" any good?

and epicexecution just can't comprehend how that turned into 20+ pages about the frsbrzft86
he's not a smart man.


and obviously your an illiterate dumbfuck who can't read or understand that when someone says they prefer "raw power over handling" that the brz should never be mentioned..... because it is a shitty, overpriced econobox lacking power. It's hilarious watching you dodge statements and try to pick apart little pieces of someones statements to discredit posts

Now continue riding the Brz's dick like the little fanboy you are, shit is hilarious

Like i said, it's beyond your comprehension how a thread titled scion frs any good would hit 20+ pages on these forums.
Especially with little haters like you and subwoofer bumping it all the time.
You personally posted more than 15 times in that thread, still can't comprehend how it hit 20 pages.

and
Ford Mustang V6 1:29.09

randy pobst is a hell of a driver, if he drove any of those that you listed they would have had a better time. also lets take a look at something else.

the c5 z06 has a 1/4 mile time of 12.5 seconds
the c6 z06 ha s a1/4 mile time of 11.4 seconds
the 911 turbo ha s a 1/4 mile time of 11.6 seconds
the evo x is about a 13 flat

and the brz.... 15second

all these cars are just as fast around the track (faster with a better driver) and has a much better 1/4 mile time. the brz is not a well rounded car, it does 1 thing decently, but if you can get the brz going as fast of a 1/4 mile of any of those cars, its track time will substantially drop.

It's alright little guy, one day you'll realize that your 150whp econobox with Prius tires isn't the next coming to Jesus.
