Ford Focus ST (Turbo)
MazdaSpeed 3 (Turbo)
Subaru WRX (Turbo)


Plug $3000 into the latter 3 and you'll get a BEAST. Plug $3000 into the FR-S and you'll get a slightly faster fart box rwd Scion Tc.

I now really understand the issue here.....people don't want a GREAT car because it will price them out of the market.

Ohhhhhh well......looks like I'll be riding out the 350 until I can pay cash for a GTR
Then what did you expect from this car? $40k over 400hp sports car? Nothing against you buying GT-R instead of this car, it's your opinion and decision.

Without reading what this car was made for and just insulting it isn't right. You just saw the outer design and assumed/thought this car gonna be fast/faster than Z or whatever over 300hp cars and not reading actual info on this car, so please don't insult this car cuz it's "appeal to a broader range of people".

edit - Nevermind, I just edited myself. LOL
