As long as possible. Plain and simple. Everytime I stomp on the gas and let the boxer engine scream to 7K RPM and hit that shift, I can't stop grinning. When another car can do that for 25K, let me know. :happy0180:

There are ways to tastefully mod a car and increase value of the car at the same time.

"Tastefully" being the key word. So far, that seems to be quite rare.

Serious question: Why did you buy an FR-S in the first place, if it's gong to cost you ~30K to "feel" like another car?

I think we should revisit this thread every 12 months to see who still has their FR-S.
