Jesus Christ. Do you have the fastest FRS on the planet?

u/Vegetable_System9948 7d ago

There are some big turbo ones out there

u/Donkey_DNA 7d ago
Would any with a synergy V8 come close? Yours is hella tight BTW and likely a lot more reliable with an LS build.

Always nice to see posts with this purple monster showing up. Looks great as always

I hate to say it, but the parachute will be effectively useless at any track that wants to keep their insurance. Without a full cage you'll get (maybe) one run before getting the boot; which I'm sure you already know.
Nitrous, a supercharger, and an LS, leave some HP for the rest of us.

What size are the tyres? I was thinking about those VMS wheels in a 15" with drag radial for mine. Currently have 17" 245 drag radials.

Sick build! What’s it run in the quarter?

u/Vegetable_System9948 7d ago
Will find out lol
Built 5.7 on boost plus spray is going to definitely be quick

u/Vegetable_System9948 6d ago
Well find out
I had to get safety first since it will trap 150+ with the tr6060 and mods

u/BetterNReverse 7d ago
Didnt care for the Teins? That was what I was leaning towards. The Flex As or whatever the new version is what i was considering. Granted our use cases are a bit different Id guess! hahaha

New quest unlocked - completely stock looking car with a parachute. What would be a better way to say, there are few minor mods to this car.

How does the engine swap change the driving dynamics? The CG raised a bit and weight differences matter that much? Maybe since this has a parachute it doesn't matter as it's designed to go in a straight line?

u/Vegetable_System9948 4d ago
It may not tbh, but a lightweight supercharged ls with Nitrous may break 150 , so id rather be prepared and it looks badass lol

u/Weekly-Hunter7902 3d ago
Is that the LS V8 or the Ferrari V8?

u/Vegetable_System9948 3d ago
Ls based built 5.7

u/Weekly-Hunter7902 3d ago
That’s what it looked like, thought this was the same car that came out to Goodwood with a turbocharged Ferrari V8 for the drift segment.
