Lee CascioNov 14, 2012 You have so many more options with a turbo platform as far as aftermarket is concerned. And for drifting like this car is made for you wouldn't choose anything but a turbo.
Gary FrayerNov 11, 2012 BrZ is nice but the frs is faster by a little bit I would go with the frs supercharged
Puneet DassNov 09, 2012 Nice. It'll be like the old school trueno/Levin variants that came with the superchargers
Jeffrey FrankNov 07, 2012 Small turbos will spool quickly and provide ample torque early in the power band. It's all about what you're looking for.
Justin RouthNov 07, 2012 Its a two liter 4cyl it will still have good mpgs.. But if you're building something fast you shouldnt really be concerned with mpgs
David HicksNov 07, 2012 Nek minnut Black Series is out of sight.
Carlos Ernesto GarciaNov 07, 2012 This car is actually pretty quick of the line. It beat the black series of the line in motor trends drag race.
Shelby CassandraNov 07, 2012 Good! Nothing like a supercharger. Turbos are impressive but what this car needs is low end torque. It will be perfect for a car that is so slow off the start like this one. And as for MPG, it really shouldn't make that big of a difference.
Patrick SchalkNov 07, 2012 It's not gonna make that much of a difference for mpgs.
Quinn ConnerNov 07, 2012 Except for the fact of ruining mpg numbers with the charger. So your daily driver is now more expensive to daily drive
Dylan BruderNov 07, 2012 Supercharger > turbo in terms of daily driver it will give this car the low end torque its missing and make it an better car to drive all the time
Alex MedvedevNov 07, 2012 And no bro Sti not > frs SC because Sti won't install turbo on it
Nigel NapolesNov 07, 2012 I think TRD fell behind there since SEMA had a Vortek brand supercharger already for the FRS and BRZ.
Description: There's no word at this point on how much the TRD supercharger would elevate output in the FR-S from the standard 200 horsepower, but Subaru Technica International (STI) is reportedly targeting 2...Add Comments0
Nick ManginiNov 08, 2012 Didnt realize i was on facebook with all of this drama.
Stephen Tyler LearnNov 08, 2012 Michael youre being arrogant for insulting someone because you were unable to comprehend a simple compliment.
Stephen Tyler LearnNov 08, 2012 Everything west of the Appalachians and east of the rockies is basically flat boring unending straight roads. If she lives any where like that then this car would be boring as hell and it makes sense for her not to like it
Matt PiccoloNov 08, 2012 @ Shelby, it must depend on where u live cuz there are a lot if places around me I can whip a car around on some back roads
Patrick SchalkNov 07, 2012 Michael, overtly country is arrogant.
Shelby CassandraNov 07, 2012 @Michael. I am trying to find my arrogant comment. You said you couldn't comprehend what I was saying so I said it in blatant terms that a 1st grader could easily understand. Please, guide me so that I may better understand.
Shelby CassandraNov 07, 2012 Yes Matt. I realize that it was not intended for a drag race. But think about how often you can floor it compared to take a curve at a higher speed than any other car. You'd have to not be following the speed limit to have any fun on a back road.
Michael MontefuscoNov 07, 2012 Thank you Matt -- at least Simone understands the point of this car.
Michael MontefuscoNov 07, 2012 God Americans are so arrogant-- and they have no space to be... Anyway. I am confused as to why you would use a gt86/brz/frs for a 1/4 miles car. And it's 0to 60 is not immensely slow given its power.
Matt PiccoloNov 07, 2012 Actually it's a 14 sec car but this was built for whipping around corners and Having fun with on the back roads
Shelby CassandraNov 07, 2012 This car has immensely slow acceleration in part because of its lack of low end torque. A supercharger would help greatly with the power curve as well as its overall power in order to make it a semi-useable 1/4 car. ¿Comprende?
Michael MontefuscoNov 07, 2012 I can read -- it's my comprehension that is not up to par. Perhaps you would like to explain?
Shelby CassandraNov 07, 2012 No shit it isn't a 1/4 mile car. Can you read?

Turbo makes more sense.
BRZ STi> FRS S/C
This is awesome
Can't wait for a turbo BRZ vs supercharged FRS showdown.
Turbo for Subaru and SC for Toyota? I like it! Distinguishes the two.
