Part of what made me decide to keep it was the disheartening realization that it's worth only slightly more than a nice NB. haha The other part was how much I love driving this car. Chassis is great, reliability concerns are relatively low and easy enough to remedy (as others have pointed out), and consumables are cheap (though not quite NA/NB cheap).
Another bonus is the used parts market. Lots of kids buy these, throw a bunch of parts on for street cred/instagram likes, and then part out and sell when they inevitably can't afford it anymore, get bored and want something different, or crash it.

I'm 80% sure I'm going to FRS. I kind of want a CLEAN project car anyway. Back in college and shortly after, I was always working on some old POS (didn't help I was in the rust belt either) and lost my interest in jacking with cars. I enjoy working on my grand sport
I'm kind of over breaking bolts, dealing with seized stuff and stripping crap on 20 year old cars in my garage. I'm probably going to drop $10-15k on this car in the next 1-2 years. Non particular order, built NA motor up (don't want the weight or the heat- same reason I have a GS vs a Z06), roll bar/cage, seats, gut it, aero, suspension, BBK.
How much power can these motors make with heads/cam?
Are there any Subaru motors that swap in? IE a bigger one?
Can the trans hold the extra power?
2300lbs and 275-300hp on coilovers would be one hell of a ride I bet (which is really what this car should have been from the factory, or at least an option for it).
