I came from an EVO 8 pushing 334whp 341tq.

Before that I had the following:
300zx TT 455whp
350z (DE) Full bolt ons
1990 GSX 320whp
1987 300zx turbo with upgraded turbo and bolt ons
T67 Single Turbo 3000gt pushing 550whp and gutted to 2770lbs

Now I drive a 2016 WRX Base currently stage 1 pushing 260whp 297tq. I have plans to go stage 2 through maperformance which would put me at 330whp 340tq.

While I loved all of these cars my favorite were the 3000gt, Z32, and FR-S (in that order). The EVO and WRX were and are fast but they never truly felt like a sports car. They sit higher, are sedans, and don't give you the feeling like you're driving a sports car, but rather a very fast sedan. They have their benefits but lack in the raw driving experience.

I am one of the people that do wish the FR-S came turbo or had a slightly higher output engine. If the FR-S were able to produce 270hp from the factory, (and all the things that come along with that-such as warranty and reliability) like the old NSXs to me that would be THE PERFECT CAR.
