Yea, I meant the graph from the InsideLine dyno, but thanks.

Inside line uses an inertial dynomometer. The Cobb number is a better representation of what one would experience on the road, as it was measured with an eddy current brake dyno. This is required to properly load the drive train for an accurate measurement.

Not really relevant to the subject... but it is a shame how ignorant people can be, especially on youtube videos. Randomly spotted a couple of comments to the video above:
"If the car wasn't "made for power" then they shouldnt charge so much. $26,000 gets you a really slow car with no features and a crap interior not to mention it looks like a wanna be ricer rocket. FAIL!" "Lets see a comparsion. Base 2.0t hyundai genesis coupe vs this over priced lump. Hyundai will kick its ass and youll save money, have a better warranty, better interior too. This car is junk" Le sigh.... |

idk if anyone else noticed, but not all of the electronic stability control was turned off, nor was the traction control turned completely off. I know this cuz i drove the FR-S this weekend, and I made sure to turn everything off, and there were at least two extra lights that came on when it was all off. Unless this is an earlier pre-production model that has different dash lights, but idk if any of this would effect the power on the dyno, but to me it seems like having any traction control or stability control on would effect the the full amount of power to the wheels.

Also what octane was used. Car will have more Hp with 93 than 91 but it can take up to a few tanks for the ECU to fully adjust. I've heard of some cars loosing 10 hp going from 91 to 87 because the engine pulls allot of timing.

These people will never understand the car for what it is, i wouldn't personally call them 'enthusiasts'. Not to mention alot of the youtube population is full of underage trolls. Im sure alot of these people will hop on the bandwagon of this car and others like it if toyobaru can resurrect the 90's sports car legacy. And on another note, this hate will help young ones steer clear and ultimately keep our rates alot lower. As for the video, great to see newer dyno results... but can i see some performance dynos yet? or am i asking too much? |

So if this is insideline's long term tester, where is the blog? I want to read about the day to day life of the FR-S

"Now imagine a turbocharged FR-S. That's all you can really do at this point since a) it hasn't been officially confirmed by the factory, and b) you'll have to wait at least a year and likely longer for the factory turbocharged version. But let's not get too carried away just yet, as there's still plenty more about today's FR-S that's worth exploring. Stay tuned. --Jason Kavanagh, Engineering Editor" Yall all know a turbo is coming...i can feel it...hehe! |

Not a fan either but I doubt it will be that noticeable in most driving as all it does is slow the power curve upwards movement between 3200 - 4200 rpm. Now if that dip were in the HP curve itself it would be a disaster.
