Mr Clarkeson (who hates the FRS) quoted that the RS beats Evo's round their test track on one of his DVD's, so perhaps it is quicker than the old Evo's? I would like to think mine would do ok against a mid powered one (mines 280-290BHP). Before I fiitted my manifold mine pulled distance on a mates P1 from 30-155.

The FRS handles amazingly for FWD but the 4x4 + they drive themselves factor will help your mate!!
