For any application outside of a DYNO Comp you car needs to dialed in weight, tires, suspension, WHP/TQ. WHP/TQ alone will not make you go fast in a straight line or in a curve.

Just my .02

Example (230HP FWD vs 488HP AWD) Think what that little hatch Type-R would do with around 300hpNA which is SOOOO easy to achieve for what every brether mod for a 370z is going to run you. That thing didnt even have a K24 bottom end nor a really built head. Both not that exspensive to build.

I feel what you're saying jay... but I really was talking about this FR-S and the RWD scene. Honda n/a K motors are a whole other animal.

Very true. I am still curious what can be done NA with this frs for it to become a track monster. Put it on a fat kid diet and run some ITB's and serious cams, springs, retainers, valves, PnP. I think on fat kid diet and a driver in the 175lb area this car should weigh in sub 2.4k lbs. I got money on these cars clipping off 1/4 mile times NA, faster than any Z on here in no more than a year.

Hardest part for Hondas with the K is once going boost and doing multiple lap sessions you are really trying to fight heat soak. It can take a car down. Boosting one is great for a strip or time attack, but NA for a K taking on lapping sessions is where it is at and it in a car sub 2k lbs 300whp is dirty, you are running in supercar territory lap time wise.

Over half the battle in building a fast track car is the weight.
