From a High HP Car to an 86? POLL!
 

Who stepped out of a significantly higher HP car into an 86? I came from a 360HP 550i. I know we have lots of former Mustang and such owners on here.

I came from (but still have) my FD RX7 to the FR-S. Love driving the FR-S so much more and am selling the RX7 this summer

I came from a 1997 honda civic DX - nothis special at all.

however; I do have a 2007 Honda CBR600RR that has a better power to weight ratio than a 458 italia or a GTR

I was cross shopping between M3, C63, IS-F, M6 and S4, after test driving all of those I chose the FR-S. The moment I sat in the FR-S I knew this was the car for me, never sat in a car this low and although not nearly as powerful, it gave me a sense of occasion. Making me feel like Senna in a NSX, heel-toeing in traffic and utilizing the full power band of the FA20

Heh, I think power to weight will be almost identical between my old car and my BRZ. Pretty sure my GTI makes ~180hp (and 175ish ft/lb) and weighs ~2900 lbs. BRZ makes more HP but less torque but also weighs a bit over a hundred pounds less. I imagine they'll feel pretty similar in a straight line?

Guess my GTI will probably thrash the BRZ up here at 5,000 feet though :P

I've owned many cars but my highest was my 800hp 94 Supra. I got out of that game and got into doing some road coarses instead. I bought a s2000 to get into it then after putting 60k hard miles on it, I decided to buy the FR-S as a dedicated track car.

Came from a turbo S2K 460whp and a 500+whp FD RX-7 before that.

2002 Camaro SS 35th Anniversary Limited Convertible, bolt ons, tuned, 384 whp.

I dont own one yet but i mostly drive a toyota Corolla. I think ill feel the difference Loool :p

Its not so bad, i had a high HP mr2, in the top category .. :)
i like the wooosh of boost power but.. there is something about the simpleness of NA that i also love. having to work it hard in the right gear always keeps me awake.

Came from a stg2 135i, don't miss the power at all except on the highway.

600whp...

But still have my 580whp (w/ NOS) ZR-1 Vette for high-HP fix.

Damn... I wish I had the money for all these monsters people are naming... I had a 187HP '03 325i

Evo ix mr se 2006. 331hp to the wheels. Tuned by Alfred at tuning tech. Not ultra high HP but maxed out the stock turbo at 24.7 psi! Weeeeeeeee!!!!
