Be an absolute bitch as a DD though.
If we're being fair, the F22 also comes with an aftermarket team of researchers, technicians, and other general support staff. So to make this a fair comparison, we would need an FRS with $683.7 billion worth of mods.

You did select that option when you purchased your twin?


I thought everyone did.

If that's your goal, throw some sticky tires on it....Done...

If you want it better than a stock evo, FI...Done...

I suggest they start with the fuel pump.

So we are talking about modding an 86, giving it the same WHP and AWD, suspension, etc to beat an EVO on the track right? Since the OP posted "Would a FRS kick the EVO's butt on the track if it has the same amount of whp and better suspension+wheel tire setup? Let me know what you guys think?"

why not buy the EVO if you want a fast track car?

Why not purchase a boar/pig from a farm if you want to ride a pig all day?

What do you guys think if we de-badge a 458 put an FRS emblem on and race an Italia, who would win?

What do you think if we slapped a genesis emblem on a pig, who would be able to turn corners faster? The Pig? Or the pig on wheels?

I heard an 86 actually beat the Saturn V to the moon. Thrust to weight and all that. Low COG, balance.

All being said. A twin is a twin. There is no other car on the market that is a direct competitor.

Nothing screams "I shoulda bought another car" than a gen coupe :P
