Sorry man, but i had to point that out. I do agree with you though, it could use more power. Thank god for tuners and FI.

i dont think its the lsd that is the main culprit but the fact that the power is forced around a 90 degree bend which im assuming spends a lot of that power in ways other than turning tires. i dont even think an lsd will be engaging on a dyno since the tires should be seeing the same amount of resistance.

I dont understand the question. :\

If you are disappointed by the power the car makes, feel free to ship it my way; I'm waiting to purchase my own FR-S and will gladly take yours instead if you want!

they guy is only saying what is claimed and what is really put down seems to have a larger discrepancy than that they should be allowed advertise.

Exactly--thank you...

I would have bought the car just the same, even if they had advertised 185bhp. I'm building the car for a certain class for '13 (Solo), and another one for '14 (TURBO!), so it won't be staying stock anyways.

Sorry if I ruffled some feathers--as you were! :happy0180:

Hanakuso · 12-22-2012, 11:56 PM

OP, you ever thought about the gears?

clayrush · 12-23-2012, 12:22 AM

I wish they advertised engine power with a *WBH on the side. maybe it would make start making company's design better transmissions :P

"brake horsepower" (b.h.p.) will always be less at the rear drive wheels,due to
"slippage" in the drive train. engine (h.p.) is measured at the "crankshaft!"

i dont intend to race the car or drive it particularly hard in corners. 200 feels great for cities but i do wish there was a tiny bit more power to help with highway driving. I dont particularly enjoy being next to semi trucks
