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
