Yeah, that statement is only true if you modify it a bunch. Adding a bigger turbo and good coilovers/tires would easily result in a faster car. The FR-S has the advantage of a stiffer and lighter chassis and can seemingly handle a turbo quite well. In stock form, the GSX likely only has an advantage of traction off the line (especially if wet/slippery).
