Gave me a whole new outlook on the car. I've realised its pretty pointless to try to get a whp or 1/4 mile number with this car, this car is built for something else which is altogether more fun IMO . Now that's without saying its good to gauge the speed of a car in a straight line and I'm sure I'll have a few trips to the drag strip as is the point of this thread. I'm actually impressed with a lot of the numbers posted here which proves the FR-S can be very fast in the 1/4 as well seems a lot are just having traction issues.
Tl;dr I think the fr-s should be appreciated for every thing it offers not just straight line. If you want to go fast in the straight line its going to cost more than most other cars esp. since its N/A from the factory for $24k new. But for a budget (new) track & DD car it really shines. |
That's the single most reason why I got the FRS. It will be my road course car. I have no desire to lap with the mr2 now that I have the FRS. The FRS is on another level of handling.
The best pass so far that I know of was done by Accelerated Performance running 11.3 @ 127 mph with street tires! I'm a huge fan of drag racing with street tires. "Run it like how you drive it everyday/rain or shine". I think they did it pretty good considering they are buying time on a high boosted e85 setup, stock powertrain + turbo system, fuel, software, etc.; they actually did pretty good!
Sadly, no e85 for me.
Would be nice to see that daily on pumpgas 94... would need the proper motor though.
