FRS then Camaro SS 1LE?
 
Guys
I've been on the forum for a while. I posted last in Oct 2015 as I traded my FRS.

Bought a 2013 FRS in Aug. Ultramarine. Loved it. I'm not one of those guys that goes on about lack of power. I loved the handling. Its all been said previously by others.
I put a few bucks in my FRS. Enkei RPF1 17x8 35 offset, Nameless exh, TRD intake, OFH/OFT. These few things made this car perfect IMO. Perfect Arguably 220hp. (I like to dream)
For what reason is beyond me, I got sucked into power. Rather than dilute the FRS nature with a turbo, I bought a Chevy Camaro SS 1LE. Loved this car. I'm not going to debate goodness of this car vs the FRS. It could run circles around the FRS on any track any time any where. Pretty sure any FRS. Autox or roadrace. Anything anywhere. Look up the 1LE. On a "budget", it's Gods car.

Bottom line is though. I now own a brand new 2015 FRS. In "Steel" and I am very very happy to be back. Thank you.
Laff if you wish. I have a smile on my face much like the one Jeremy Clarkson had on the GT86 test on Top Gear

Never understood the people coming from STi's, Camaro SS's, GT-R's, etc to be in our car. I mean I basically have this thing so that I don't have to drive a Civic Si.

Sorry if that's not clear. I traded my '13 FRS for a Camaro SS 1LE, and traded the 1LE for a '15 FRS (new). Good price on '15s here. hard to find manuals right here

IMO the FRS fits like a glove.

IF I could have kept it, NO DOUBT. I would've. There is more at play here. I mean seriously. The car was awesome. But life is a balance.

Same here man. I am glad they created this car. Otherwise i would be driving sti or 370z. But still, I like the curve and style of this car.
