It is low for a car but good for a 4 banger... If you don't like the car, why are you here?

if it's laughable why are you still here and why are you still a sucker for this car? what's truly laughable is subaru was just gonna stick the fb20 in there as is until tada insisted on something more powerful, which led to the fa20 being built from scratch.

I actually own a car with 140tq and I will be the first to say it's weak. The torque is rich in the torque band of my RSX base but it still feels weak when it's hauling 2790 lbs+.

This car will be fine on track, regardless of the low torque number. The place where it will fall down is 4th gear and up acceleration and resultant top speed. It will be similar to my RX-8... superb on track, esp. tight tracks, or long tracks without much in the way of straights. But anywhere where higher HP cars can stretch their legs, they'll easily show their strength ... outright acceleration at speed ... and you'll be left in the dust. Power rules because drag increase as the cube of speed. 200HP just doesn't go that far countering drag forces. Take these two easy examples....
Say, for the FRS/BRZ if 3HP is needed at 30mph, then 24HP is required at 60mph, but 192HP is needed at 120mph. It's pretty much finished accelerating. vs. let's take a 350HP Mustang if 4HP is needed at 30mph, then 32HP is required at 60mph, but only 256HP is needed at 120mph. There's more HP left and it will contiune to accelerate just fine. Long story short, this car will rock on the twisties, you'll be crying on the long straights. |

the problem with cars that have weak low and mid range is a matter of torque curve more than peak torque numbers. the peak number doesn't really tell the story. from the dynos we've seen, the new 86 has a very flat torque curve, a very good indication. at least drive it for yourself before you knock it.

That's the price of high revs, fixed cam profile. I'm happy about it, because the mpgs should be better :P |

lol yeah i've seen the curve. the dip is not big. i doubt you'd even notice the dip when you're actually driving the car. 150 lb/ft at 3000rpm is pretty dang good if you ask me.

EDIT: plus overcoming rolling resitance, forgot about that :P so its anywhere between 19-24 hp but not 32 hp and you dont need 192 hp at 120mph its about 120hp... these are the calculations for a 6 series with a .29 CG, remember the 86 has a lower .27 CG weighs less and is a smaller car, has skinnier tires and less rolling resistance.... Speed/ Power at the wheels/ Power at the engine 35 mph 8 hp 9 hp 60 mph 20 hp 23 hp 80 mph 38 hp 44 hp 100 mph 64 hp 75 hp 120 mph 102 hp 119 hp 140 mph 152 hp 178 hp 160 mph 220 hp 257 hp 180 mph 304 hp 356 hp 200 mph 409 hp 479 hp 220 mph 537 hp 628 hp 250 mph 776 hp 908 hp
