I'd venture a guess that a FR-S with the same amount of work that your TC has with you driving both.. the FR-S will be faster as well.
One guy and his respected machine is always better or worse than another guy in his respected machine. Unless you are driving to identical cars can you take the car variable out of the picture. Somebody has to be the winner...

I don't have a lot of work. Its all garage off the shelf parts. Running a stock motor with low boost.

That's what I mean by 20k invested; basically getting it to the same level as your tC.

Yet again, that is far fetched. For one I don't have $20k invested if you add the sum of my parts. Nor can you put a number ($20k) as being the magic number that would surpass performance on another completely different car. That's just not how the game is played nor how it works. Plenty of guys I have met, felt they had the faster car...that was until they had no choice but to let me pass since I was not going anywhere.

Anyhow, we are off topic, and that was not the point of my prior post. Which had nothing to do with which one will be faster with X amount of dollars in it.
