Whichever the case, you called us mods out, I'm just trying to see your point and how you can justify calling us "foolish" and "embarrassing".

Ft86club should be embarrassed for trying to pawn that video off as a testament to the capabilities of the FRS. Nobody here thinks for one second that a track prepped FRS can hold a candle to a stock Gt3.
This is where I have a problem, and tried to explain. So ill try to dull it down a bit.

A member likes the video, the member shares the video, the video is about a tracked FR-S following a 911GT3 on a track day which we would call it chasing. Admin says cool! ill post up on main page with a catchy Title!

We did not post up the video and said this is a testament to the amazing abilities of a FR-S against a true sports car..no we said;

Quote:
We all know that the FR-S is a very capable track car, especially with a few track-spec upgrades.
AKA - Referring back a few months, the FR-S is a capable track car, just as the Miata and s2000 are capable track cars. Which was questionable before the car was released, and after the first set of reviews saying the car is under-powered to be "capable".

Quote:
Just how well does a track prepped FR-S compare against the high performance 997 GT3 at the Circuit of the Americas track? See for yourself
AKA - Looking for a good video of a prepped FR-S and how it manages to still CHASE a GT3 or keep eyes on around a power hungry track.

Is the FR-S going to catch it? NO, is the FR-S going to keep up with it? NO and nobody is expecting it too. Yet you read something into it that we didn't and claimed we are saying the FR-S in that video is doing something that is amazing against the GT3. Its not, but its still a good video to showcase one of our own members adventures and as a first year pioneer in setting the FR-S for tracking.


So wheres your beef? is it with us? If it is i'm trying to figure that out.
is it with the way its worded? Maybe we should omit and never mention the GT3 anyhow, but the video clearly highlights it anyway so its kind of pointless. I don't want to have to mention is it your own "personal" problem, because if it is, it wont adversely effect the "credibility" of the community and we can take this discussion else where.
