If you are comparing them to cars with 1.5 to 2 times the displacement, turbos or that cost thousands to tens of thousands more then yeah they are slow on a race track. But compare them to other cars, new or old, in their class and they are not slow.
I think this thread keeps coming back because there are those that believe if they keep beating this drum somehow Toyota will reverse what they have stated all along and give the car a turbo, supercharger or a bigger engine.

Haha the question is always what are the cars it is competitive against? In the vln racing, isn't the only other car in its class some 1970s pos? Didn't that 1970s pos beat some of the 86s out there?
In cs it's only competitive because every qqd so hard to get the faster 370z out. Of course you can rule your class if you kick out everyone faster. Sad thing is they might still lose to the rx8. Are they going to qq the rx8 into bs next year?
Iirc the rain helped the Frs because the competitors couldn't put down power. So it helped the lighter weight underpowered Frs.
