Spend good about of $ on skilling up your driving by going & compete in autox & track. Spending other $ on suspension, brake & tires. After several yrs going that & can compete in national level, you can then get potential of this car & all powerful sports car.

I'm not pointing finger at you or anyone here, but I see owner complaining about tires, power, this & that on this car... but they don't blame their lack of driving skill.

Several times, I've driven their so called "slow/NA" FRS/BRZ & got up fast time (not the fastest in the group, but pretty close).

Another example is, Cusco FR-S (NA engine) won fastest autox lap time in FT86Nation event. They were competing against other FI FRS/BRZ, but feedback from driver & suspension setup, they improved ranked 7 to all the way to the top.

So before think bout FI or buying powerful sports car, think bout this question.
"Am I using full potential of this car? Or my driving skill is stopping this car to used full potential?"
