yeah still getting to know it.

My GTR is modded, running e85, and has 285/335 mpss tire setup on HREs. So its putting down about 600+whp and torque and has ALOT more rubber and stickier compound. Runs low 10s in the quarter. Also on race springs.

I bought the FRS because its the complete opposite philosophy. 1100 lbs lighter, better seating position, manual transmission. You feel that I can use 90-100% of the performance on the street. The GTR thats damn near impossible. Its almost too much car for the street. Until you are doing double the posted limit it feels pretty mundane, it comes alive when you push it hard. The FRS is fun at all speeds.

As for handling they both feel pretty different. The FRS's main advantage is that low weight, going thru quick change of directions is easier in the twin. I love that feeling in back where you get the sense its about to break loose. The GTR you have to brake hard, settle it into the corner, and then power out at apex. Its an odd feeling if you've ever driven one hard... you can literally feel the computers shifting power around to all the wheels pulling you thru the corner. It will countersteer and correct your mistakes before you can even react... i wont lie though.. its saved my ass at least 2-3 times. I will say the steering feel is very good when you drive it hard. Not as good as the FRS but its close.


How is the FRS better than a GTR? --
- RWD so you can kick out the back end
- manual tranny
- much better seating position. i love the low slung cockpit. GTR sits very high like an m3.
- i think it looks better to be honest. very sexy curvy lines. the gtr is hard edged and masculine.
- 40mpg. I get 10 in the GTR with e85.
- you can beat on it around town without worrying about going to jail.

The GTR has its own merits too. The forces exerted on your body by it is pretty epic. acceleration, braking, cornering puts forces on your body you aren't going to feel unless you buy a 200k exotic or go on a roller coaster. The GTR follows the 'more is more' way of thinking, while the FRS says 'less is more'.
