Congrats on the new Golf R! I'm sure having torque every where feels nice. How does the top end pull feel compared to your JRSC FR-S?
Post up some pics if you get a chance. :-) |

The torque i much better with the R, even at stock when comparing to a JRSC with E85. I will also say that the FT86 and Golf R are very different cars and its not just because of cost. The FT-86 is much more balance and it is an extremely fun car. You can achieve a lot of the fun with low speed. I needed a back seat at the end of the day and a car that is a bit more refine. Hence me stepping away from the FRS.

U know what... i wish I could, but honestly.. Stock for stock, "R" will take it, but thaz not a fair comparison for they are two different price range vehicles.
Now - Modded FRS vs. Stock R, that would be an interesting run. U know what my modded was, and I will say that the "R" will still take it by a hair. But with both cars tuned. I dont think its a contest that the "R" will take it... thaz just my 2cents.. |

It's like a CBA GTR feeling much faster than the 991 GT3, and most people would agree the GTR will pull, but the GT3 will walk the GTR no problem. |

Mike, very well said.
I guess in time we will see which car will have faster 1/4miles runs. Give the R a look, cause the AWD torque off the line is very good b4 and after mod. But your statements are very true. But I guess it back to the age old question of HP vs TQ... |

I had a VW R32 MKIV for a little while. I wish I would have just kept it instead of selling it for the BRZ and kept both cars. Nothing like a first gen R32 and that wonderful exhaust sound.

Now... Now... Now.... Ur taking that a bit far. R is no big rig by far and FRS is far from being a F1 car. Each vehicle has its own positive driving dynamics for sure. With that being said, its a tough call unless we can put the two car next to each other and give it a go.

For something more realistic, how about a S2000 vs Golf TDI? Their torque/hp figures are almost perfectly opposite. 151lb/ft 240hp vs 236lb/ft 150hp. The golf is unfortunately about 200 lbs heavier, but lets say the S2000 has a 200lb passenger. Which would be faster? |

In addition. The car u compare against has to have the same purpose.
TDI was not with speed in mind. s2000 was. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Your Golf R, 3340lbs, 292hp, vs your E85 JRSC FRS, 2800 lbs, ~3xxwhp. You don't REALLY believe the Golf R has a chance, do you? Unless you're launching from a dead stop, that AWD and low end torque means nothing in a drag race at these output levels. Paging @AlexBinJackson. How do you think your boosted R32 would do against your boosted FRS? |
