The calculator only gives 6.05 if you've specified RWD. For FWD, such as that of the FR-S, the calculator says 6.548 seconds.

Dude, the FR-S is RWD. Otherwise it would be nothing more than a Toyota Civic Si and 90% of us wouldn't care about it.

Fixed for you.

It wouldn't make much sense for them to do this here and not in the other markets.

Thanks. Mind and fingers weren't cooperating earlier today.

Edit: I think the source of my brain fart was the Scion tC thread found here: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2988, as well as this data point from Motor Trend which got a hard-to-believe 0-60 time of 6.5 seconds for the tC: http://www.motortrend.com/oftheyear/.../scion_tc.html

I'm not sure if I've ever laughed this hard from anything before.

If you were a troll, I would say this was the most successful trolling yet.

(The best part is that FRS stands for Front-Engined Rear-Drive Sport)

Hey everyone! I'm the maker of this video, glad to see it's sparked a little discussion here

Just for the record, I've been lurking since late 2009, but never felt like creating an account to discuss on the forums... but I guess I'm here now!

I read a comment about this particular stretch of road being downhill... I had no idea! If you'd be so kind as to refer me to a nice, level, straight piece of road in Gran Turismo 5, I'd be more than happy to post up a new video to compare acceleration times!

And for the record, I don't have a steering wheel setup; just using my good ol' PS3 controller!

Thanks guys, and I'm glad to finally become a member of this community.

Special Stage 7 should have a long straigh that you can test.
