Did you read anything he posted? He won by .5 seconds -.-...I bet you read the title and just decided to post what you thought without reading anything..

Anyways...

Congrats on the win Karma! BTW I can't seem to find any of your videos. Would you guide me in the right direction? Maybe a PM with a link to your channel?

Damn, I swear I found my ex fiancé twin with your girl, look the same and sound the same lol... Anyway, after watching your other vids, was the chase mustang trying, it looks like y'all are pulling away in both vids, or I hope, he just keeping a safe distance. I would have assumed a 2013 mustang GT would have no problem keeping up..

a stage 2 sti wakes up dramatically. i want to see you guys do it again with mods!
what the heck is stage 2?

stage 2 with an sti? in minimal aspects, it's a downpipe with a cobb accessport. most will have an intake, and a full exhaust and run cobb's OTS map, or get custom tuned.

stage 2 doesn't exist on an frs. at least, not yet! we could consider an intake + tune stage 1. and stage 2 a full exhaust, intake and tune. but stages are usually only with forced induction vehicles.

these arbitrary staging classes seem like a good idea for company marketing but in general discussions seem stupid.

Lots of time spent driving that FRS one handed with a hand on the stick.... Just an observation.

it's just a way of knowing what "mods" a person has done to their car. it's easily recognizable.

it would make sense if there was any standards to this entirely arbitrary staging but there isnt. i have no idea what you are talking about. if you would just say how much power it has or some of the mods that would be much more beneficial especially how this isnt an sti forum.

There are loose standards that make this jargon relate information that wouldnt be easy to say. It does seem pointless for discussion when talking with people who dont know of it, unless they become informed. Its not technical.
