theres a little bit of irony here because i clearly remember you using the factory backed griffon trd gt86 race car going around tsukuba faster than an italia as proof that the frs is better than the 458.

What about it? That thread compared it to supercars out of playful gloat. Then people jumped in misinterpreting it as dead seriousness and derailed the thread to spite our good spirits. The OEM ran an 86 on a stock engine with simple bolt-ons, aero, and weight reduction around a world-known circuit faster than the 458. Track time was not the main focus but merely a reference point; the point was to demonstrate how the 86 is a balanced platform for tuning. I, and many others, don't like and buy this car because it goes faster or slower than a 458 or any other car around a track. But we are fanatics about its balanced package. If it can go faster on a stock engine than a 458, can't our enthusiasm be allowed to be a little bit justified?
