Jalopnik Post - BS stories about cars - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

JayNutter · 01-07-2013, 05:55 PM

I thought I would post the link to a story where I have been going through the comments for far too long. Enjoy.

This story reminds me of the time someone told me their stock FR-S/BRZ had 400 hp and could run a 1/4 mile in 8 seconds flat. lol

dorifuto · 01-07-2013, 08:58 PM

I talked to a kid with a n/a auto supra in moab. He told me it put 600 hp to the wheels. I don't remember his 1/4 claim but I'm sure it was just as made up.

'Our exhaust will make 200 whp on an FR-S!'

I thought we had already established that Jalopnik is full of BS? lol

I remember a thread somewhere about it. (roughly 2 years ago or was it 1 1/2)

That Jalopnik expose' reminds me of a bunch of wannabe-hooners on Woodward in the summer with kids wearing crooked baseball caps claiming their '02 WRX's with only an HKS BOV have a thousand horsepower with a ten second quarter mile time. It's pretty much all the same story; guys with very little experience desperate to impress people they don't know.

It's much more pleasant and sociable when intelligent people own-up to the actual status of their cars [like the fantastic bug-eye WRX] and appreciate them for what they are.

I'm guilty
I do this all the time with the FRS, i don't know about you guys.

"What kind of engine is this?"

"Something Porsche made, it has about 40 PSI and about 450 HP to the front wheels, its a bit slow."

"Scion makes this car?"

"Yup, along with Toyota, Subaru, Nissan, Honda, Acura and Lexus. Maybe BMW and Audi soon."

"Is it fast?"

"Yeah, i hit about 100MPH in about 4 seconds, i beat most Hondas at the light. Lambos don't stand a chance."

Patience. It's coming out in 2014-2015

Beyer Subaru · 01-09-2013, 06:49 PM

Yep, been hearing that same line since 2000. The only reason I have to believe it might be possible is the amazing success of the twins.

tree fingers · 01-09-2013, 07:13 PM

I'm not sure if it will ever release. If it doesn't, there are plenty of MK4s around. :]

biggest bullshit story I have heard was that a S2k with cf mods intake running 4 sec 0-60 that or STi with exhaust and intake running 10 secs.

All this was told to me by a guy from school who also thought His B-series Del Sol with cracked Mugen headers could outrun a EVO
