LOL, owned. Would have been a close race if the guy in the FRS could actually drive. Maybe you should encourage him to buy a banner for the back of that FRS:

There can't be 27k in that frs... the owner must be talking about how much he paid for it

Actually for funzies I went over to the frs forum to see if I could perhaps find some more info about the frs in that vid(hoping someone would post it over there)

The frs is def not a daily car, it looks like they are having a lot of problems right now

I randomly clicked on this thread I will sell my FRS & take a bath but it was an "experience" - Scion FR-S Forum | Subaru BRZ Forum | Toyota 86 GT 86 Forum | AS1 Forum - FT86CLUB

pretty much the guy got fed up and bought a mustang, he complained about the clutch plate, the control arms breaking at highway speeds, lots of interior rattles.. kinda getting me intrigued to find out more lol...

Sad part is I really wanted to like the car

If you're going to more than double the power output of the car, of course ALOT of parts will break. Sounds like the aftermarket parts he chose to install (assuming he replaced most of the stock parts) weren't the best choice (cheap). Check this video out. Crawford performance went through the same process with the BRZ (pretty similar), but has had great success. It's a beast!

Those were stock parts, car only had 22k on it

Kinda depressing to think that a car with a supposed 27k in it is still slower than a verano with a e85 tune

You start with a shitty car and tiny motor, what are you looking for?

The frs should try shifting next time lol. 2700 lbs and the ability to be at 500 hp pretty easy and rwd seems pretty good to me.

Wow at the absolute nonsense on that thread link posted... a brz/frs owner saying that the mustang has been melting #7 and #8 since the 2003 cobra 4v and that he owned two of them? I just cant even imagine the level of retard. it's gotta be over 9000..

I think it's a bit harder to make power with these cars, least lets see how long the few ones pushing 400+ last....

But if that guy really had 27k in that motor he should have walked op. Either that or op has other mods hes not telling us about

Local guy went 2 months with his at stock hp level. Now it's getting turbo'd.

He said he knew there wasn't enough power after 5 mins of driving.
