why did you build an frs you dont want? bitching about people wanting more power while your car has forced induction is nothing short of ridiculous.

i still dont get why you wanting power is different than someone else wanting power.

@Noble713 I was talking US market with the FR-S and C6 comparison. Either way, Toyota is only trying to sell 100 of them and they likely did some research before they decided to produce and price them.

while this version is pricey there is a bright side for all of us owners out there.
These parts on this car are functional AND Toyota will have to have some extra parts for those wrecked, broken etc. Maybe us "commoners" could get our hands on these parts? Those seats are sick IMO

The body parts are copied directly from the Griffon but in some places use cheaper materials (ABS instead of CF in the rear diffuser for example). All the other parts are designed to stiffen the chassis, make it lighter, make it stop quicker, go through the gears quicker or make the acceleration more responsive. I can't see what there is not to like? |

You guys do understand that the TRD Griffon (which this car is modeled from), doesn't have some significant power bump in the engine department. And yet it runs the Tsukuba circuit in the low 1 min range. It's my favorite 86 of all the 86's.
The only thing I don't like on the 14R60 is the wing. I don't like the duck neck mount. |
