A Toyota Carolla here gets up to the NZ$40k (US$33k) mark for the well specced one. We get awesome JDM cars here and have all the TRD parts but it is expensive as we are a couple of little islands at the bottom of the world. So, to get an idea take your base FRS price an multiply it by around 1.9 and that's about the equivalent cost in the USA if these were in your market. Not bad I think for a fully specced race car and for the opportunity to take part in the race series.

Do we really have to explain the difference in car prices in other countries compared to the US ...........AGAIN? A Corvette in Australia or NZ, which you cannot buy unless its privately imported, would be well north of $100K. For example a base model Boxster is over $100K. |

realistically if this was sold in the US itd be what? 55 grand minimum? I think you could spec up a stock FRS for cheaper and it'd be more fun changing each part and feeling the slight improvement after every mod.
