Just hypothetically speaking; wouldn't a 3.0L naturally aspirated V-8 that revs to 8k and makes 360HP be fantastic?! That would match the S2000's 120HP/L in a much sexier yet manly V-8. I'd hit it.

Porsches don't rumble like Subarus do, the firing order and manifolds are different. That said, I love how Porsches sound!
Some guy said 4 cylinders blow and I provided an example of a 4 cylinder with a nice (IMO) sound. Nothing comparing 4 against 6 or any some such. That said, I'll take a boxer 4 over a V6. Haven't heard a V6 I like. Now, V8 on the other hand... |

Dimman, google Genesis coupe V6 55/45 and you will see countless sites with the same figures.
http://www.topspeed.com/cars/hyundai...e-ar54295.html http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...z/viewall.html And now for the 2.0t http://www.roadandtrack.com/tests/up...sis-coupe-2.0t Couple members was saying the FR-S is 55/45 without two occupants but I don't quite believe it. |

Ok I did some quick research and it seems like the 2013 is actually 56/44. That means it gained weight on the front end.

I drove a 2011 2.0t rspec, it was a nice car but just felt slow and heavy.
New engines should help that, but I always see this car as more of a nice sporty Grand Tourer, verses real sports car. For this one its just what people want, not really serious competitors. |

I was imagining ~51/49 for the 2.0T, before it came out. Still unhappy that the performance options are packaged into the $31k trim in Canada... Not even worth testing it to compare the Scion really, unless it's a sign that we're going to get price-shafted on the FR-S also.

[QUOTE=SUB-FT86;126460]I think since we are 46 pages in this thread should close. And Dimman the V6 is 55/45 like the FR-S.
And also the GC doesn't need a V8. The V6 has 345 hp in a 3400+ lb body. It's not a muscle car.[/QUOTE] Nothing at you SUB, but I found that statement interesting as we called cars with those specs "muscle cars" just a few years ago.

I honestly think I will go with the FR-S out of the two. I have a feeling it will be more fun at sane speeds and I will rip the backseat out so I don't have to worry about carrying 3 other people that weigh at least 150 lbs a piece. Just me and the GF only. We weigh 300 lbs combine and I am 150. My GF is 5''11' if you're wondering why she weighs as much and I am 5''9'. |

I want to share a story that made me change my mind to the FR-S.
My cousin went shopping for a Hyundai Accent this week so I went along for support in case he got taken advantage of. So it was me 5''9'(150 lbs) his wife 5''0' (105lbs) my cousin 5''10 (300+ lbs) and the salesman 6''1 (350 lbs). Now here is the specs on this car. 2525 lbs curb weight 138 hp 123 tq 1.6 liter GDI engine 6 speed automatic with manual shift Now we all went for a test drive and I couldn't believe how that car propelled nearly 1,000 lbs of humans in a kind of adequate fashion. It didn't feel as lazy as my GF's Honda civic with a similar P2W ratio. Modern technology in engines is amazing!!! Then it got me thinking about the FR-S real hard and I realize with a engine .4 liters bigger with a lot more power and torque and a curb weight 200 lbs heavier. The FR-S would be brilliantly quick enough especially being a modern tech engine sports car and not carrying more weight than me and my GF. Me and the GF in the FR-S equals 3050 lbs with 200hp/151tq vs Me and everybody in the accent equals 3450 lbs with 138hp/123tq I still can't believe the Hyundai accent had some almost adequate(It would've been adequate without the lard asses) balls with over 900 lbs of people in it with such a puny output. I think the FR-S will be more than enough for me. |
