I would count yourself lucky if you get this car - I presume it is trending that way.

My first car was an 1982 Dodge Diplomat that had 90 HP, had a 0-60 of 18.1 seconds and weighed 500 lbs more than the FR-S. It had a one speaker, AM only radio and handled like a boat, but, I inherited it from my Grandfather and I appreciated it until the end.

My second car was an 1987 Grand AM and felt fast comparatively with 150 hp, 0-60 of 10 seconds.

I count myself lucky at age 39 to own an FR-S, let alone, if I had a car like this when I was 16. Drive responsibly and just don't disable the VSC unless you are at a track.

Enjoy.
