August 2011 Road&Track FR-S front page
 
FB20, 200bhp at 7200RPM/150lb-ft at 4600RPM, and around 3000lb's. Expected 0-60 of 7.5s...

What happened to it being the EJ platform :(, and why is this thing so heavy all of a sudden =/. Hope they're wrong about those specs.

That article is from June 14th... did you try to link something else? Working on getting a copy.

Unless you linked the wrong thing, this has already been discussed here:

Didn't realize the article was from June, I just saw it in my August 2011 issue of Road&Track it was Front paged.

ah, my mistake then. Feel free to ignore this, I thought it was new news and not yesterdays paper :iono:.

Found a copy - yeah they pretty much recycled everything from the June online article into the August issue. No wonder magazine sales are on the decline....

Just to show how out of touch they are, here's a poll in one of the earlier pages.

Sorry, I swapped images on you - meant to post the poll. Yeah the cover claims under 25k but I've lost a bit of trust in R&T today.

Yeah I agree. Everything is probably just speculation at this point.

Thats what we like. We call BS on the things we don't like to hear on the other hand when its something we do want to hear... :)

Logics. Cause it makes sense. A $27k Scion does not make logics.
