Previous DD and still own was a Yaris hatch with TRD suspension (I've owned powerful cars when I was younger), the yaris handles like on rails with the trd susp. but only had a max 100ft-lbs torque around 4krpm.

So when I first got my FRS I was used to climbing the many hills around here at 4krpm, thought man is this a $10k upgrade over the Yaris? Seeing dynos posted here which showed the FRS had the same 100ft-lbs of torque at 4krpm a light bulb went off, this was before the torque dip was really explained.

Started keeping the FRS over 5k rpm and she's got more than enough torque/horsepower. daily drivers don't need to be 12 senond cars. but looking forward to a tune + headers that really get rid of the torque dip or a reliable <$4k super charger kit.
