Drop the car 1 inch with some lowering springs and slightly stiffer anti-roll bars to compensate for the extra grip from wider sticky tires, and I've got a straight up awesome daily driver/autocross car/GT.
Now...about that warranty.....
Truthfully, if Scion offers a quality supercharger kit with warranty, that would immediately sway me to get the FR-S. The HKS kit is probably going to be great but without any kind of warranty....

Sorry but your ideas are great and all. But as far as a Autocross car goes. It would be pretty bad. Heavy modifications like a supercharger would put you in a noncompetitive class, and if you expect any kind of decent traction on 225 forget about it. Also just using lowering springs alone would make the car actually handle worse than stock.
