That IS a valid argument.
The op started with my friend bought an ss 1le and says it handles better than my frs.
Then it got into a modified frs STILL doesn't handle better than an ss 1le, then it got to it's still better to buy a ss 1le for performance.
The original statement may be true, the ss 1le does handle better than a stock twin.
The second statement of it being better to just buy an ss 1le, is not a true statement. It is subjective and requires copious amounts of qualification.
Are you dealing on a total budget of $45,000? Are you a capable mechanic/fabricator?
Are you a tuner or are you capable of tuning? What type of driving do you want to do? Will you be tracking it? What type of tracking?
The original statement is of course true. A brand new SS 1le DOES handle better than a brand new FRS, that's IF the ops frs is stock.
Can he throw some wheels and rcomps on it and have it handle better than the SS 1LE, that remains to be seen.
What size rcomps and wheels? The fact that a poster had a slightly modified twin with 260whp and 245 rcomps and it couldn't beat it around a track does NOT answer that question.
To say it does is comparing apples and oranges in a context that has no logically valid basis.

I'm just stating this, and don't take offense....but you could have the two cars right next to each other making the same power, same torque curve, on same wheels and tires, and everything else equal..... If the twin lost, I feel like there would be something you'd be able to find wrong with the testing.
