hybrid keeps up with brz? - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

This is why I don't bother spending much money on making more power....because short of a forced induction kit, every Camry out there will beat this car regardless. You'll end up spending more money just to make it as fast as a wrx, than to actually buy a wrx.

Hahahahahahah I test drove the CT F-Sport right before an FR-S. No way in hell that thing keeps up, unless the driver sucks something hard.

10 second 0-60 with a fa20club tune. Nothing else needs to be said. Even motortrend knocked out a 6.2 on a complete factory car.

I've had the car for a year and I've never once lost to a hybrid or an SUV, or any other car, for that matter.

Probably because I don't participate in silly stoplight "races" in the first place. I have better things to do than waste gas and risk getting a ticket or hitting a kid. If you want to race and win, I promise you'll demolish your buddy on a track or autocross course. Just go have fun driving and stop worrying about being faster than every other car on the road. You'll be a lot happier, I promise.

I've owned both cars, and I have to say the CT200h is a hell of fun hybrid to drive, but it is definitely not as fast as my FR-S (no mods).

Worlds' slowest hybrid...NOT!

That's what I'm wondering.....I had a thought that my throttle response was shit in the last month I'm wondering now if theres more to it.

Ya I can log and post...I know you guys are thinking you don't know how to launch it but I assure you I do I mean ya i beat the car I just figured I would beat it by more I mean it surely didnt seem like 3 seconds worth. I can tell you if you drove both seporete you wouldnt even tell the diff.

robwbright · 06-01-2014, 12:56 AM

Any decent launch will net you high 6s or low 7s in a BRZ/FRS. It's hard to do any worse than low 7s in a 6MT if you're actually trying.

To get in the mid 6s on a stock car, you need to spin the tires at about 4000-4500 rpm. Unless of course you go FI.

You can get down to the high 5s for $2000 to $2500 with the Phantom Electric Supercharger kit...

Can you stop plugging it everywhere? Two posts in a row which I happened to see.
I am actually down for an RHD kit but this seems excessive and remotely on topic.
