anything to get that car into the sub 6sec 0-60 minimum

no such thing as a slow sports car imho..

I like it. I see it as a useful and sporting appliance vs an appliance such as Fit. I tested one last year. I enjoyed it.

actually the 5MT '12 fit i had was about as fast as a brz on a cold day.

Speed ok but what about handling. 200hp can get you thrown in jail. Clearly its not a Vin Diesel 1/4 mile at a time vehicle. Why so many want or think it should be. I had a blast with the test model I had here. I liked the seats/interior, everything overall.

i had swifts on there, not too bad, top heavy. sports car handling was not its forte'.. true

i wouldnt mind having a brz though if something happened to my G. it ll be like my mini-Z. 200hp is plenty for the commute.

205hp might be too much...

The frs is not very peppy over 90mph. Not sure about getting thrown in jail with a frs.

Silly Toyota; I could have gotten those power and torque bumps from stickers ...

Toyota chief 86 product planner: "What do you think we should do with the grill?"

Designer: "Hey look at this picture of my kid!"

Toyota exec "say no more fam!"

Toyota would say:

"Now this is a small step for the others, but a giant leap for FR-S."

While I think 5 HP is a true joke, I think is a HUGE Joke! This car must have 260 HP or more. Also why they didn't put a TRD exhaust and Intake? That would jump it to at least 206! LOL!!!!!!!!

Anyone could get thrown in jail driving any car fast. How quickly you go from 0-reckless op isn't the case. It is that you can. And a 3cyl Geo Metro is about the only car that will protest any speed above 40.

That said, the frs is still a dog and it'll still take 10 minutes to wander into reckless op territory. ooooo!!! 5hp. I shakin in mah boots.

Be fair.... TRD exhaust = 3hp. Lol

I get you....

But when enthusiasts use the phrase "you can get thrown in jail driving one of those"

The understanding are CARS that are REALLY responsive and comfortable OVER a 100m.p.h. Feel me? So the FR-S is NOT that car...
