[QUOTE="Ignacio, post: 1334076, member: 434"] That's inaccurate. 2013 did have a change in both bhp and torque. It wasn't large, but was definitely not "zero". HP was up from 141.5 to 144.2 and torque from 99.1 to 102 between the 2012 and 2013 model years. I don't think there's "consensus" either--at least as generally as you suggest for all Gen 1 vs. all Gen 2...nor speculation about fuel restrictions. Probably the biggest X in the equation is weight. A 2003 is claimed to be 521 pounds. A 2013 claim is 637 pounds. You want a fast FJR....go buy a 2003 without all the stuff they've added in the decade following. They're cheap too. All my numbers are from the [URL="https://www.fjrforum.com/files/fjrcomparo.pdf"]spreadsheet I've built[/URL] over the past decade plus. [/QUOTE]
