It feels very planted - even for having sh*tty Prius tires on it. A couple of the other FRS at the show today had some simple modifications like catback exhausts, lightweight crank pulleys, strut bars, etc. It was nice to chat with the guys about the car, and answer questions for all of the looky-lous.

Replacement filter yes.
Stock airbox yes. sound tube delete is cosmetic. Put a plug in it if you don't like it. I like hearing it. -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money

2.44hp and 1.38 ft lb torque to the wheels, seems legit.

Most of the vendors on the FRS/BRZ forums will reset the ECU prior to re-dynoing so the numbers get inflated. My numbers are without a break in-between runs short of the 2 minutes it took to install the new piping and filter.
5000 rpms and up....  Here are my 4th gear runs:

I read somewhere that the platform could accommodate a convertible. Maybe if they continue to sell really well there'll be a convertible along with one that has the WRX STI engine.

More torque would be nice, but it does fine for only weighing ~20lbs more than a Celica GT. (2580lbs to 2600lbs)
FR-S P/W ratio: .076 Celica P/W ratio: .052 Nothing stellar by any means, but a difference. Plus the 5S is made for low end torque. You're comparing apples to oranges here. -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money
