Hey everyone. My name is Mark from So Cal. My list of vehicles is allover the place from old VW's to off-road trucks and motorcycles. Currently my DD and autocross car is a 92 Integra GSR. As a suspension nut, what has been disappointing in production cars as of late has been the ever increasing vehicle weights and lack of handling. Styling and ergonomics have taken a back seat to boxy, clumsy, heavy cars. The FRS/BRZ seems to be heading in the right direction for power/weight and design. The hi revving engines are coming back, and will be a blast to drive. I haven't gotten to drive the car yet, but have sat in a FRS. The ergonomics and feel of the car bring me back to what love about the old Hondas, low dash, everything within reach, more at one with the car. Can't wait for mine to arrive, as long as they keep the pricing right.
