when you said it will be faster in a straight line(see below) and since we were all talking about highway pulls I don't think the track times apply here

This is in a straight line, with stock wheels and tires, from a roll.

You have to remember that while every car listed has more power and torque, the FRS/BRZ is a much, much lighter car, in some cases, 1000+ lbs lighter.

It's the exact reason a ND Miata is faster than an FRS, stock for stock, with only 155hp.
and I already explained why the weight differences is not a big issue on highway pulls exact reason why a V10 M5 will walk away from a C5 Z06 on highway (after 120mph of course, lol) ..that's a thing that I already knew for years,as I couldn't remember the damn formula, I had to quote it

also, that pathetic powerband still has way more area under the TQ than our cars I remember you had a WRX so we both know 360 WHP WRX would kill a Rotrex FRS/BRZ any day from roll, just say it Mike, repeat after me "WRX will win that race"
