And the hate goes on!!
I guess some people are just stupid and find it hard to understand this is not a drag car period. Its a lightweight good handling car that is meant for twisty roads. The guy that posted that fb status is a drag fan and is building a 800whp supra i just feel bad for him since his car is always broken down . Every idiot in drag central city san antonio asks me how much HP it has and when i tell them its a NA Boxer with 200hp they are like wtf. They dont understand the boxer engine has a lower center of gravity and the power to weight ratio of the car is perfect. The cars power + handling capabilities of the chassis make it a blast to drive around the twisty stuff. I did not buy this car thinking of drag racing i bought it for corners period, took a friend for a ride yesterday to twisted sisters which is a very twisty canyon road and man he could not believe the amount of grip the little car had, posted on his facebook a pic of my car with the legend: This little car is a boss around corners. He said my exit speeds on corners were a lot faster than his modded 370z. Im done explaining to idiots this is not a drag car!!
Any ways here is what the other idiot on facebook had to say, posted a video of me chasing an m3 and eventually passing him. Some people just forget there are cars that are built for everything if i wanted a drag car i would have gotten american muscle. Here is the vid i posted on his FB page lol [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpxebdWgyU4"]2013 FR-S @ The Track & VS e92 M3 - YouTube[/ame]

I just hate living in a City full of drag idiots who judge car by how much power it puts down!! Im thinking of moving my business to Austin that way i have 3 racetracks near by no more 40+ minute drives. Its funny i took a friend who is into drag racing to my local track and got him in as a guest, i gave him a ride in my car first and he was acting all tough saying man this is easy why do you say its hard blah blah blah. Next we did a lead follow and i was constantly having to slow down so his high powered evo could catch up since the thing had so much lag after that he said he could have easily passed me, i told him to go ahead of me and i would follow him now trying to stay on his rear bumper....... Next thing you know he over speeds into a corner having massive understeer then he punches the gas and as soon as his turbo kicked in he was in the dirt. I just laughed and laughed and repeated the same lemma over and over "Straight lines are for fast cars, corners are for fast drivers" lol. ( This was in a c63 btw i was not in the fr-s.)

Cant beat the fun part in having a cheap to maintain track car. Corvettes will require more expensive routine maintenance and ive seen a couple of them blow up at the track all ready. And he is talking about straight lines he prob has never seen a corner in his life. Other people that are into drag always suggest why not buy a 240sx with a ls swap bro, or why didnt you just get an evo bro its faster.
Im guessing since you dont own an fr-s yet you dont understand the joy this thing brings when pushing it around a track, doesnt matter if the corvette is a million times faster the fr-s will be more rewarding at the end of the day. And yes i have driven a corvette my biggest complain is how the shifter feels and how nervous it can get when the road gets bumpy. So far my only complain in the FR-S is the slight lack of power on corner exits which can be fixed with simple bolt ons and a better power curve brought by a tune.

Wow I know exactly how you feel! I was in Abilene (also full of drag racers) with my S2K and it was pretty frustrating being around the drag crowd. I tried not to care though and just kept going to the track in Cresson (Motorsports Ranch). If they ever talk crap to you again just invite them to the track and show them what the FR-S could do with a better driver

Stock for stock, a Vette will definitely out handle an FR-S. You know what's better than owning a vette though? Owning a house outright in California. I love the people that own $45k-75k cars but have to park in spot 103 under a pergola in their apartment complex with three roommates. They're idiots that will always be poor.
I'll keep saving my money. |
