My 200WHP 15 Auto FRS Build

[ItzYaBoyBugZ]

I'm planning on buying out at end of lease...
or buying out even before end of lease
not getting rid of my car
going to turbo one day
i did the math and I've had around 17-20 cars. not 45 lol
still a lot, and I'm 24, and they were all late 80's - early 00's sports cars off craigslist
didnt need cosigner, paid cash for one car and flat traded over and over and over etc
to private sellers of course ...
Data logged oft last night and emailed them the data, waiting on custom e tune back
then off to more logging, exciting process

I hit 192 on a mustang dyno with pump gas with an OFT. Going protuned soon to get that extra 8.

I fixed it for you.

You are a liar about one of these things...or you are just a royal fuck up.

Which is it?

Some people have dealt in cash their entire lives. Before my BRZ I paid for all my previous ~10 cars in cash, and frankly if it weren't for credit cards & student loans I would have no credit history.

But yes, keep assuming. OP already posted his life story a few pages back.

Again, fixed it for you.

Umm,

I drive this car to work every day. I don't have stock tires. I haven't had any problems driving it.

200 hp is enough to get the car moving. It's enough to get most cars moving.

Did you mean it's not enough to do highway pulls or red light races or something?

You could drive a Prius to work everyday just the same... are we talking about fun or commuting?

A Fiesta ST has 197hp yet it feels fast to most critics. Most entry level 3300 lb sedans have 185hp and most 2700 lbs sub-compacts make 140hp yet 200hp can't move a 2750 lb RWD coupe? I'll never understand how people correlate a good car for the money with big horsepower when 90% of the time if you use it on your commute you will get either tickets, arrested, or possibly kill someone. If you live on a race track that's the only time when the big power you paid for is worth it. But if 95% of your driving is commuting and you have a powerful car then you just make 0 sense to me.

the fiesta makes decent torque though throughout the rpm range. In fact, it makes more torque at 6000 rpm than we do ANYWHERE, ever lol(stock engine).

Although our car is slow, it certainly is fun-and of course just fine for commuting.

Just sucks when your average run of the mill camry(or minivan/truck/18 wheeler/tractor/scooter/kid on bicycle) is faster than us.

fyi i just bought a 2015 brz in a MT. @Tcoat @Ultramaroon

Congrats man! I'm sure you went to a dealer who didn't mistake you for that one other Asian dude, yes? :P

That's my point! People concentrate on the 200 hp our cars make yet don't realize it's good enough. The torque is the problem for most folks not the hp

Guys, let's play nice and stay on topic. Whatever that topic may be....

[Pickleahoy]

On topic, this man put neons on a leased car... and it is not 1998
