From a High HP Car to an 86? POLL! - Page 6 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

No subs, it's just tiny. All the battery and brake fluid reservoir and stuff is located back there. It is really deceiving and small for the car. Not that I hardly ever complain about a performance car, but the evo is really one of those cars you don't gain much from other then seating room and AWD of course. Interior was the cheapest crap I ever owned other then recaro seats. Saying that it is also one of the fastest cars. You don't feel concede though even all controls off. I don't want to bash the car. It's just different. I a, too used to cars that are like a scalpel and surgical with each move. The evo is a brute meat clever. All my cars I owned get you around a track and down the road faster then what is legal. Just in a different way.

well the fast car i has was a 96 Hyundai accent with a 2L tiburon engine and a custom turbo setup.. the car was pushing 325-350whp and the car was stripped weighting in at 895kg with a full tank of gas..that thing was really fun to drive but never got great times at the strip because i was running street tires .. but trap speeds were around 130

next i had a 98 r/t coupe neon running a srt4 turbo which was near 300whp ... then got ridof it for a new genesis coupe 2.0t in 2009 .. swapped the stock turbo for a gt30r .. full bolt ons, injectors and a haltech ecu .. the car pushed over 400whp on a mustang dyno.. later i had an accident with the car and after that it never felt the same .. i sold all the parts and sold the car bone stock in november for a white 2013 brz .. i miss the power of the GC, the high speed stability and the forgiveness of this car when doing stupid things but i like the fact that the brz is a smaller car, lighter and its a really fun car to drive .. handling is also a bit better than the gc once you have decent tires on it. my car is stock as of yet but i have lots of stuff waiting to be installed right now so stay tuned :P

Have you ever driven a GT-R in anger, much less a pretty heavily modded one, like my old car? No boating involved... Lol

From a 370z to my Fr-s.

What do you think about your decision? I was looking at 370's before i bought my FRS. Gas killed that idea for me, but they have way more power and even stock the exhaust note is pure sex

Jaylyons1 · 04-08-2013, 09:16 PM

I had an E90 M3 but we bought a house. One deployment later and I can afford a BRZ. The M3 definitely wasn't even close to the most powerful car I have owned. I do like the BRZ, but getting passed by V6 honda accords while trying to merge onto the highway is kind of annoying.

Last car was a 02 celica GT!!!! 140 hp 120tq 4 speed auto HANG ON! bahaahah

MikeNYC · 04-08-2013, 10:00 PM

Last car was a 99 Honda civic SI had fun with it but time to move on had basic things intake and exhaust around 165hp.

CenTexFrs · 04-08-2013, 10:13 PM

The last vehicle I owned was a '96 z71 but that was just used for hauling stuff and mudding. But the real jump in speed was from my kawi zx-14, 207 hp 490lbs

TouchMyHonda · 04-08-2013, 10:36 PM

My 240 whp civic is about a low low 12 second car. Really fast when paired with the gearing I had. I do miss being able do a pull against other cars... But whatever. I plan on selling the civic ASAP.

I couldn't be happier. Seriously. I've seen a lot of debate between the Fr-s and the Z, but to me it was an obvious call. The Z was a great car, don't get me wrong. It had a lot of power and a great stock exhaust note haha. But the gas mileage, road noise, and "absence while driving" really got to me. What I mean by that is that the Z removed me from the car and made me feel as if it was in control. With the Fr-s I feel like I'm in a hug with the car and I find it very rewarding to drive. Plus the Z was a lot more expensive. So... The Z had more power and that's about it. Literally everything else the Fr-s won in my eyes. The back seat, the comfort, the gas mileage, the handling... I have a Berk exhaust on it right now and even the exhaust note of the Z can't beat it. I say all of this because my mother bought a Z and I can compare them pretty easily haha. I really could go on for hours about how happy I am with this car.

I just test drove a mustang gt (again) and this is pretty much my same conclusion as well... But that engine. Very nice.

Love the fr-s though hands down in all other areas really.

That being said if I wanted something I would just rev out and drag race all day I'd buy the mustang but I'm taking a liking more to road courses. Hoping to hit one this year.
