i bet it did lol, 2 of you,s
I have a big soft spot for them , when i was about 8 yrs old the 2 brothers i knew up the road used to pinch their dads blue 2.8injection capri (brand new) at the ages of 16 and 13 the little sods pmsl....... i sat in it once in the alley and just remember that noise they have. timid to a v8 but still sound awsome imo.

i went down the strip in my FRS against my mate jenna, we both never have done a run before so we were well nervous, she made me worse though, did it 4 times i won 2 and so did she and we were doing 14sec ish, would have liked to have got into the 13s as we had seen 2 other FRS do that time but we were happy with our runs for first timers,

specs of car:

mines on dreamscience hers is on Ae Tuna
both on standard turbos,
both got k&n gen2,
both got manifolds,
both got decats and exhaust systems
mines on a forge actuator and dumpvalve and hers is on standards
