The scion fr-s/subaru brx/toyota ft-86 are made for HANDLING! The car doesn't weigh shit so it's gonna go decent enough. It's kind of like the miata in having just enough power for it's weight. You want power......... you buy something else. It's not nor will it ever be a muscle car!

Another show Lady- Why does your car say Corvette on the engine? We have a Corvette and your car doesn't look like one. LMFAO

That's true, its more for the average Joe who wants a " sports car " 200 Hp will get most people by in a car that weighs 2800 lbs.

thank you for that wonderful assessment Ron. I'm so glad that you've come here to tell us what we ALL already know lol...

but what we're saying is that its times aren't going to match up in real life with what it says in the book. Obviously it'll out handle muscle cars, its a lot more nimble, but that still shouldn't take away from what it can do in a straight line
