FRS MSRP: $25,255
Mustang V6 MSRP: $22,200

Mustang is faster than FR-S at Max Track Speed, 0-60 and track.

Why not buy that? FRS is really slow even with upgraded tires.

Dont tell me that MPG is the only reason.

BTW, I dont think Primacy HP is alot cheaper than Dunlop Star Spec. Primacy HP is not a worse tire. The were just made for different purpose.

Primacy HP
Size: 215/45-17 87W
Lap Time: 1:29.3
Max Track Speed: 93.6mph
0-60: 6.6
Skidpad: .89g
Slalom: 67.8mph

Dunlop Star Spec:
Size: 215/45-17 87W
Lap Time: 127.0
Max Track Speed: 94mph
0-60: 6.5
Skidpad:.94g
Slalom: 70.2mph

Those are real and tangible differences. No hypothesis needed.

Here is their take:
