or a 2j with a gt42 and a standalone + e85. you'll be doing 700rwhp on a stock motor :happyanim:

If God made the LS, then the devil made the 2J. The 2J also sounds like pure sin too....and I love it. This message has been blessed for the nourishment of your bodies....Amen.

Why do Mustang owners with their big V8 engines insist on racing me (FR-S) at every stop light? Yes, you will beat me every time, congrats on your straight line pedal-to-the-metal driving skills. Please keep in mind, there's more to life than 0 to 60. But if it makes you happy to race a car that is completely out of your class, feel free to stomp away. I enjoy the sound of a good exhaust note.

Haha I still think if I do go FI, I will prbably drop a 2jz in. I just wish it was a little lighter

it helps to relate wheelbase width to how a person stands. when your feet are close together, it is easy to move you. this means that there is less force required to change direction and that is really fun in a car. if you are in a more ready position, it will take more force to move and you feel more balanced. there is probably some sort of fallacy in that example but i think it gets the basic point across.

the length is a similar kind of concept. the farther the wheels are apart, the longer you have as a driver to react as the rear wheels try to get ahead of the fronts.

i dont want to put a definitive threshold on "highspeed" but look at it as a continuum. as speeds increase, the time you have to react decreases. i would guess the smallest wheelbase a person can manage would be the fastest but at some point the instability will have more and more downsides. just look at the worlds fastest production cars. in the top ten, i would imagine that 4/5 are massive with gigantic wheelbases (think ford gt, pagani zonda ect.)

i should also note that these are just assumptions on my part.

Your wheelbase theory just makes me wanna :bonk:
So based on your analogy, you are saying, at high speed, FRZ/BRZ will tip over and start rolling? No there is so much more than that to high speed dynamics of a vehicle. FRS/BRZ has a very low center of gravity, and the car itself has a very low profile - on top of that, it has a very good weight distribution. That's what makes this car so much fun to drive.

Your second point I don't even comprehend what you are trying to say. :bonk::bonk:

Your third point is just :mad0259::mad0259::mad0259::bonk::bonk::bonk:




Yea. I noticed. :slap:

Mustang outnumber FRS and BRZ. I normally see 1 of you and 10 mustangs daily!
Mustang has a long history, and generations.
Mustang is cheap to buy, cheaper to mods.
Mustang is a monster if built right.
Mustang 2010 + look much better, corner better.

Finally. It is the driver that Annoy you. Mostly, older Mustang can be bought dirt cheap, and parents buy those for their youngster in HS.

So...your problem = younger drivers. You will most likely engage Civic SI the same way on the street, and 95% = younger drivers

True Mustang/sport car enthusiast, grown up driver, respect each other on the road, having passion for each other car. They are neither cocky, nor annoy others
