Fq-400 Whp?
Hey guys I just watched some Top Gear vid's on the MR FQ-400 and was curious as to the WHP rating on this car. Is it in fact 400 WHP or is that how much it is making at the crank? By the way it performs I wouldn't be surprised if it was 400 whp...

Take the regular us evo 8, its detuned and runs ruch as hell from the factory so the car will last longer and be more reliable( mostly warranty purposes). Same thing is done to the fq, its a badass car with a warranty, and detuned for reliability and also for warranty, they want it to last atleast 3 years or however long your warranty is for.

dont forget the FQ's are also MR's so they have 6 speed and bilsteins... now if you take a 2003 GSR such as mine and make the same amount of power, the FQ still has an edge in power delivery and handling.
