Sick truck, that almost looked liked it was too much for the guy to handle; but no thats not it. I couldn't find the right site where the guy had it, but here's the site where he sells the performance parts:

Nevermind I found it: Paradise Racing

The 2rz is definitely underestimated...iron block, aluminum heads, forged steel connecting rods (I miss my taco) Depending on what comes in the FR-S, I might slap one of these in it hehe.

Oh I know... but for me, 1,000plus hp truck only come to mind is that truck

Thats as much a Tacoma as I am a Native American.:bellyroll:

:laughabove:That's a great joke.:lol:

Hope you have flame suits on

Lol, people are pushing out 800rwhp out of S2000's now, on the F20. That isn't a giant killer?

You have to take these 'stock internal' claims with a grain of salt. There is a local shop making some world's fastest claims about their 'stock internal' Mk4 Supra. But they interpret that as being stock pistons, crank, and rods BUT they have ARP rod bolts. This is not how I interpret stock internals, especially on a 2JZGTE motor where the rod bolts are the known weak link (weak being 600ish hp range).

The other thing is how long it's making its power for. A whole season? Or just 2 or 3 dyno pulls? Huge number 'stock internal' claims are always shady.

Even on Toyota motors. :)

In all performance aspects MK4 > MK*.

But in my opinion MK3 > MK* in the looks department.

Speaking of which, the fastest SK2 is running low 8's but with a 2JZ. I saw a coupld vids of turbo'd F20's putting down some nice numbers on a stock internals! Very impressive. :bow:

I don't have the money to afford a giant-killer off the showroom. Not the purpose of this car.

As for STI's getting stomped, check out this old vid.

PS: AWD has no relevance to top-end power/acceleration.

The point is also that it's trapping in the 140mph range. That means it's making decent top-end power.

The FR-S is not going to be competitive on a road racing track unless it has extensive mods. Figure an Exige with less power and an extra 800lbs of ballast. However there is potential in the EJ boxer series to make big, driveable power.

Edit: Youtube 'street-racing' vids are not the best example due to a few reasons: there is no legitimate timing system, recorded distance, and many of the 'mods', especially on the car that the video poster beat, are questionable at best.

The vid I posted showed two comparable, legitimate 9 second cars trapping in the 140 mph range over a quarter mile. Yours showed what? One car winning and one losing over a questionable distance at questionable speeds.

Either way the boxer EJ series can make huge power. Probably more than this FR-S will be able to put down through 2 wheels, and more that will be practical on a road course. However it will cost money.

Alright, I'll list few of em that is 2L or lower ones.

Lotus Elise, Exige, 340R, 2-Eleven, Europa S (1.6~2L)
Suzuki Swift Sport (1.6L used in JWRC)
SW20 TRD 2000GT (2L)
Yamaha tuned Toyota 3S-GT Engine (2~2.1L example: Supra GT)
& not to forget Ariel Atom (2L K20Z)

want me to keep goin'?

edit:
Oh, btw I love this Top Gear episode of Atom
