FRS vs Evo?

[jdmblood]

theres too many factors to be able to give a good answer. These factors can include awd vs rwd, driver, tires, what type of track etc etc. It also isn't a very fair comparison. You want to add power, suspension, and wheels and tires to an frs. Not sure how much the rs 1.0 frs is but google says "under 30" just lets say 29k. 29k plus 6k for turbo kit, 2k for coils, 1k for wheels, plus whatever tires are. Then you'll also want sway bars, lcas =900 bucks. No brake upgrades? Thats already around 40k without brakes. Evos are 35k. Id still take the evo though. "Four doors for more whores"

Evo 8s msrp was under 30k. Inflation has to be considered when comparing a 10 year old car to one today.....But for the money, you got one hell of a performing car.

frs is lighter lower cog superior balance and weight set it a cut above a lot of more expensive cars in the cornering department.


As you say it lacks power. so using the equation above and your hypothetical.. if you brought the power levels up to equal with the evo.. then yup.. 1 = 1 still.. so yea it would be superior around the track.


The evo would only beat it in a 0 to 60 run because awd.

except with cars, there is more than one variable. its more like 1+x+y=4 which is something that you cant solve so maybe its not that simple.

inflation doesnt work like that. its this kind of thinking that left people very confused in 2008 when their million dollar houses decreased in value. even if you tried to make a case for inflation working on cars all you have to do is look at the market and when you see that evo 8s dont go for 50k, you can see that its not inflation that is happening.

I was trying to say that comparing a rs1.0 at 30k isn't an even comparison to a 10 year old evo at 30k back then.

but we will because this is an 86 forum.


My awesome frs will kick your evo's ass and take it's lunch money.

Instead of asking the question on a forum, why not take your cars to the track and find out.

Because my FRS is stock as for now. If you read, I just bought mines.
