there is just as large a percentage of frs drivers that think they have a race car too which is even worse since it is slower than the mustang and camaro, even the v6 genre. |

Can you name a stock FWD car, with the relevant data, that will "Destroy" the FRS? I'm so quivering in my boots!

Just so I'm aware? lol, the FR-S barely has 200hp, if that. I would expect plenty of cars in any drivetrain situation to beat it.

do you believe the frs perfroms terribly? because you say that fwd cars perform terribly and agree that they perform better than the frs. its just odd that you make comments that seem to place you in the category cars/drivers that you are criticizing. |

The my car is faster than yours stupidity will never end because people are stupid. They should focus more on what "rides" they can get at home.

I set out to answer this with a new dodge dart and a cobalt ss the cobalt, was clearly faster in a strait line the FR-S beat the dodge we also did autocross we had about 8 brz/FR-S in the mix this was their first time doing autocross for the dart and the cobalt and they were definitely not the slowest on the course. A lot of the FR-S/brz beat them but not by much most within a second and they all have autocross experience and know the course because we use the same one every time. I feel that fwd cars are not as horrible as most make them out to be and those guys will be running the same times as the rest very soon.

its cool how when people talk trash on fwd there doesnt need to be any relevant data but when i say that there are fwd cars that are faster than the frs, i have to prove it. go look up the lightning lap times. the brz took 3:18 to complete a lap compared to 3:13 for the cobalt. the point is that calling the fwd sports car segment terrible performers when you bought a worse performer is kind of an odd thing to do.

well its probably better not to say that sporty fwd cars "perform extremely terribly" when that is neither true or what you mean.
