Hint...read the last sentence carefully.


The FRS would definitely be more "lively" with 37,000 HP, that's for sure!

Ugh. It's not POWER TO WEIGHT ratio, despite what the mags call it. It's a weight to power ratio. That's why the typist got confused.

Are you sure you didn't just hit 88mph?

I dont know if it would "be more lively" or if it would just melt tires and sit in place when you try to gun it. Makes me want to find out...

I'm sure they'd hit the 37000 hp mark if they added a factory turbo option.

This must be why I can't get my FR-S to go anywhere. Since break in, when I try to press the gas the tires spin madly until they melt. Then I have to go to the store, buy some new tires (and usually wheels because the rubber is so melted to the rims), mount them up for another try. I have tried every kind of tire, even those warrantied for 80,000+ miles and nothing seems to make any difference. I usually only try once every few days or so to go somewhere in this car because it is such a pain to keep replacing rear tires/wheels etc.

I have spent quite a few $$$ in the body shop because every so often the tires just catch fire instead of melting nicely. The black scorch marks really show up on my white paint.

I keep hoping that this is a temporary condition that will alleviate itself after a few more miles (tries, as the car usually just stands in place).
