And id love to see you navigate your way through the rubicon trail in a lifted jeep. Youd piss your pants, shake uncontrollably and roll within 5 minutes. Extreme rock crawling takes as much finess and talent as tight drifts

Yah i was shifting at probably 5-5500. And it was a 50km zone. So couldnt do much. The caravan let off. Due to legality

Tcoat probably is alluding to the fact that the manuals for our cars are faster than the autos and faster than the Caravan but the Carvan driver just needs to mash the gas down. The FRS driver needed to redline and quickshift and gain enough launch and distance to overtake to change lanes. Not surprised the Caravan made this impossible.

Imo with stock header and without fi these cars are light switches. Definitely no threat to anyone in a roll on.

I also wasnt expecting the caravan owner to not let me pass. Its not like either of us were revving at eachother. I didnt launch like i was racing. But once i noticed he wasnt going to let me in i gave it gas, as did he. I did eventually get infront of him. But as i said. Haha. It was a 50 KmHr zone. He probably just wanted to make a point. A point im well aware of, that being 50% of cars on the road are faster than the 86. If not more

I have both a 2015 caravan and a 2013 frs and there's no way in HELL that the caravan beats a twin...lol

I almost got smoked by a Nissan Leaf cuz I didn't dump the clutch. Now those are fast!

Yeah, but let's see the Caravan drift through a corner.

When I had p&l header and tune it was respectable from 3 grand up. Softer than stock below it however.

This caravan is right at 7 seconds. Id say even in the 6's if you watch the clock

Oh ya! 3-4 and then 5-7 seems To be where i feel the most pull. I just found it funny that i figured itd be nothing to get infront of a caravan and he definitley proved me wrong. Although i was only at about 60-70%. Im sure his foot was on the floor

Our cars are designed to be 1980's sport cars. Not Corvette or STI's.

Get a Mustang lol
