I own a MINI Cooper S it is not a dragster but it puts down more tq and hp earlier in powerband and at peak than the FRS and weighs less, I'm pretty confident that it handles the same if not better, it has power bolt-ons, flash BUT stock suspension. The argument isn't about me being faster or beating the FRS, it's about even my damn car which are all these things still isn't enough.

You guys keep saying it's not that type of car, that 197hp is enough for a 2700# car. Well it isn't, not for 2012 and what it'll be up against on the track in it's class, Dave mention his ITR was making that 14 years ago with 1.8L in stock form, sad that these cars are doing the same with higher displacement and DI.
