mmmmm.... There are some nice turbo kits out there for the FRS.... Not sure if any internals are required but I recall reading that 275whp ish is doable without any internals...

I have met the owner of this car - can't even imagine having that kind of power in the BRZ.

If those things turn out to be reliable with 400 whp turbo setups on stock internals I might have to buy one in a few years. That is insane.

Some stock internal FA20's have hit 400+ whp on pump, but unclear whether they will hold up beyond a few glory passes on the dyno and street. You'd want E85 or WMI realistically on a stock block for 400+ whp.
Recently, a stock block FA20 did 11.2 s @ 126 mph with 424 whp. Stock internals, stock trans, stock rear diff. P&L Motorsports Stage 1 Turbo Kit, on e76 blend, full weight car, slicks.
And the first FA20 powered FR-S hit 10's recently with 509 whp. 10.8 s @ 128 mph. Built Full Blown block, FBM Stage 1 w/upgraded turbo, slicks, etc.

Yeah I'd just want to slap on a turbo kit, some real wheels/tires/brakes, and go fast on pump gas. E85 availability/economy sucks and WMI is a pain in the ass and illegal in a lot of racing events. That shit is not for a competitive daily driver, it's for a show-off track/dyno car.

Probably best to wait and see for that much power. Some owners have been crazy enough to dial up the boost and get 400 whp on pump on a stock block, but I highly doubt their engines will hold up to track abuse.
If you don't have access to E85, this might not be the car for you given the 12.5:1 static CR. There are a couple of stock block cars that have competed/won track events with 400 whp, but they're all using E85 and probably for good reason.

Yeah 7 stations in the state = not feasible for daily driving.

Not true. Every station on the turnpike for one has E85...state cars use it. The E85 map isn't always correct. I knew in Philly there's a station or two, but you'd have to ask around....not always on that E85 map

Just seen 2 frs/brz...at first i thought they were really good looking cars. Now with the prius tires and lack of sharp angles they strike me as a rwd scion tc imo. Additionally, the customer base is all over the place..so far from what ive seen its 60% +40 males, 30% women and 10% tuners.
