A prepped C5 is going to be, on the low end, $5k more than a prepped FRS and have twice the consumables. I'd probably pull the trigger on a clean $15k C5 prepped for track days if I could find one. Closest I've come is $18k 2000 miles away (so $20k all in). That's $10k above the FRS. At that price point, I'd spend more and either get a C6 (so I could swap wheels with my C7- they're almost identical sizes and offset) or go straight Spec Boxter and join all my friends.

Also, the FRS I'm looking at has a extra set of wheels and 2 extra sets of tires included.
