Swap in an SR, upgrade the suspension with quality parts, and add some decent brakes (forgot to mention the stock brakes are also horrible lol), and it becomes damn good.

Although there are HUGE differences in the time and money spent on these cars, but let's not forget Evasive just brought their FR-S to Japan and raced Tsukuba and did it in 59 seconds. The fastest time ever there right now (other than a Formula Nippon) is held by Under Suzuki & his S15, and it's 51.129 seconds.

Of course, that S15 has MUCH more work done to it... (way more power, custom double wishbone suspension, etc.), but still. People in the US that don't know much about the s-chassis severely underestimate them. They can be extremely fast when well put together.

With injectors and a tune, they don't do 290+ at the wheels on the stock turbo at 14PSI. 240 or so is normal with that.
