Humor me what other cars were popping in your head when you said there are many other cars that would murder the FRS/BRZ? I'm genuinely curious:
EVO?
350z/370z?
Wrx/STi?
Focus ST?
Maybe others can chime in on this?
I feel JRSC hit on all notes when it comes to making a good increase in power while not sacrificing reliability. I know Kraftwerks has a SC available that can make more power but that setup shreds belts left and right and has some reliability issues.
If you are going to change your catback go with Invidia Q300 or even Perrin RESONATED. Hopefully that quiets it up a bit.

no problem -- I use 93 octane. True there is always something else faster. As to your question, and also to CGS Mike's reply, its my understanding that the best number on these forums for a quarter mile in a JRSC is 13.4. I suppose a flat 13 is feasible. I've never taken my car to the strip. We don't seem to have too much data on 1/4 times.
I did have EVOs and WRXs in addition to mustang GT's in mind. Thing is, a lot of enthusiasts go after more power, and while its great that a supercharged FRS is faster than those vehicles when they're stock (except for the GT), as soon as the owner's put in the same amount of money that most FI FRS owners have, the FRS of course will lose. That's largely because, at least in the case of supercharging, it takes horsepower to make horsepower, and if you start with more, you make even more with a SC. So for instance we might go from 200 crank to 320 crank with our centrifugal setups, a GT would go from 400 (I'm just using general numbers) to 600. Our setup got 120 ponies from our money, and probably from a similar amount of money the GT got an additional 200. Its easier if you start out with more power in the first place.
Mike is right about the weight being a factor in our favor of course. I am jealous of the new miata's weight.
A quarter mile in the 13's is not particularly fast, albeit quick, by today's standards. A stock 370 has a 13.0 quarter mile -- a JRSC FRS at its best might be able to do that.
Yeah I thought about perrin resonated, not sure I like the note though.
