Even my Nismo Juke has more torque. It doesn't make it any better, it's just a different drive. I like the Juke for city driving but it sucks on the highway. I prefer the FR-S over all of the other cars I have access to. Go figure... |

Wtf what's this issue with merging? I'm already doing 140 when I'm merging. It's an on ramp. Recommended speed is let's say 60 kmh. You're in a twin, so you can reliably do 90. Then you have like 200 meters to speed up.

Apparently in Cali they are ramp deficient. |

If you ever come visit socal. I'll show you all the ones where the most accidents happen.
I know it's hard to believe. When I first started using these on ramps I was shocked af. Then I saw how traffic had to lock up their brakes. Ever wonder why California drivers love to hog the left lane? There's your answer. Right lane might get you into an accident. So then they just get used to driving on the left so they do it everywhere. Sad sad. |

That has nothing to do with the ability to accelerate though. That is just a shit ton of traffic.

You notice the dip when you have driven torquey vehicles. Whether you find it annoying or not is up to the person. But people choose to get triggered fast when they don't even understand what I'm trying to say. |

That damn dyno is so incredibly deceiving since it doesn't show duration. Under heavy acceleration it is a 10% drop for a fraction of a second. It is not this total loss of torque for several seconds that people represent it to be.

Things are getting way off topic though and the OP has likely had enough. |

Pretty sure he bought the Mazda already but we are not off topic since the dip is right there in the title.

Apparently, it seems, there is alot of people without, basic motor skills, or, the ability to comprehend the characteristics of a economy 2lt NA.
I wonder if they can walk without bumping into walls or other people? I suspect not! Thank god they don't own a FA20 Impeza, with only 115kw and 196Nm, they would never be able to leave the driveway. Opinions may vary
