Otherwise, there are much better options here such as the twins, or rx7s, supras, corvettes, Mustangs just to name a few. It's kind of funny how some enthusiasts in NA flip out over something as bleh as a s15. Silvias are like a japanese mustang. They were everywhere(mostly s13s and 14s) when I was there. You could go off base and buy a turbo s13 for $3000. Most locals didn't even deem them worthy to pay for the jci. I mean, they are cool cars but I just don't see the big deal.

Oh, I totally agree that it's not worth it to import an S15 and pay all that it would cost to do so, but I don't agree with some of the people here who disregard the S13/S14/S15 as junk in general. They are great cars, and the FRS is a direct descendant of them (in spirit). This is why I asked why not just build an S13 or S14 instead? THAT idea is very much worth it if you are going to highly modify them anyway, because you can get them CHEAP and they really aren't that far behind the S15 in terms of potential.
