"There's a little BUZZ out of that, just an INDUCTION sound, out of it... Every time you put'cher foot down..."
(stomps on the accelerator)
"...OOOOOOOOH!! And we're STILL not breakin' the speed limit!"

And that's with the stock Euro exhaust. After I put the Greddy exhaust and ARC intake on my FR-S, it now delivers that tone even louder, to the point where I intentionally want to slow down, downshift to get back over 4500 RPM, and then go WOT to get that "BVVVVVVVVVF!!" sound. I need to bring a microphone along to record what it sounds like inside, and have a friend on the side of a clear empty straightaway to record a drive-by sound. It's evocative of the opening of Initial D First Stage.

Lol, if he did buy this car, he would of had to sell all his camera equipments, sell his website, his house, and EVEN his RIGHT TESTICLE! :bellyroll:

Sometimes I feel I may have gotten one of the best new car values in the world having bought the cheapest Whiteout FRS ($220 extra) I could find in the U.S. of A. - a MT with the only option being the trunk mat at $95. I think the twins costs a whole lot more in Japan, Europe, and pretty much everywhere else considering exchange rates.

Every time I step into the FRS, it is like going on a roller coaster ride that you have full control over.

Great find! It's all about the experience not the freaking technical specs, that's what this car is all about.

That guy was awesome. "Gets your gentlemen vegetables goin'." LoL. And yeah, he really does seem deflated when he has to get out of it.

Oh but it is, I'm sure there are many technical specs to describe it:

- polar moment of inertia
- center of gravity height
- and more

We just don't usually talk that way. ;)
