Yah it would be the basic FQ-260.

Does FQ really stand for "Fu@king Quick !"

Are you sure??? My answer is USDM EVO=FQ300, 276 underrated hp the USDM EVO has. Have you seen specs for the FQ260, they are much slower to the USDM EVO, like 0-60 in high 5s. The FQ300 is equvalent to the USDM EVO.

My answer would be "no". Despite assertions to the contrary, the FQ series are not factory cars. All the upgrades are done AFTER registration in the UK. The cars are built as regular JDM MRs then shipped the britain where they are registered. At that point Ralliart takes them to their shop and beefs them up. Prodrive does the same thing with UK STis. It would be misleading to call your MR an FQ unless Ralliart had actually worked on it.

The 260 is NOT an FQ car. EDIT: Actually, i don't think the 260 is even an MR.

Yes FQ is an abbreviation for f*cking quick.
