Do you think ?

Simple Question people,

Do you think you could make a BRZ/FRS as fast as a Alfa 4c ?

Thank You.

Even with a forced inducted application ?

240 BHP/260 lb ft isn't a whole lot of power, yes i understand the car is light but our car is no tank.

forced induction yes that's probably possible. That is a lot of time to shave off though.
6.5 seconds to 4.3.

I just did some quick googling, an innovate supercharged FRS will improve that time to 6.3 seconds. Improve 1/4 time from 14.8 seconds (stock) to 14.3

Alfa will do the 1/4 in 12.8 seconds stock

I don't see the average bolt on FI kit coming close to alfa numbers. The built ones, sure.

Dude, just a tip.. I have browsed this forum only a few months but have learned few things.

If question/issue is something like "I ejaculate too early" without any other details or more specific explanation... you will get answers like this;

"Stop jerking off"

"Just don't do it"

"What is too early?"

But if you are more specific.. ..like "I ejaculate too early when I'm having sex with my girlfriend and I really need some instructions to hold it longer..".

Then most of the people are willing to help you.. like "Wear two condoms and think dead dogs while you're doing it".

To answer your questions; yes it is possible. There is a lot of things you can throw out from BRZ/FR-S to get rid of weight and a lot of suspension and engine tuning solutions to get some more power and make use of it.

For some people, this has the opposite effect.
