Here's why I bought this car....

1. Price. 10k less than the evo x.
2. Gas. FRS rated at 34 highway, evo 22ish.
3. Looks. Ive always loved the rx7, and this reminds me of that.
4. Driving. The evo had insane grip, but a lot of body roll. The FRS just does whatever I want it to.
5. Motor. Mitsubishi has had a rep of being unreliable and I can vouche for that first hand. Subaru however, have been rock solid.

If I wanted a car for straight lines, I would have gotten a gen coupe. If I wanted a grip monster, I would of got the evo. Since I've already had an awd turbo, I wanted a change. There's no kicking it sideways, burnouts, or drifting with awd. Just a lot of grip, launches, and blown clutches. I figured the FRS is going to be damn near bullet proof, and 300hp would be leaving most of the racers around hear scratching their heads. I just didn't think it was going to require this much to get it there.

Im not hard up for money. I bought the car after a lot of thought, and i think i made tge riggt choice. Next spring ill have it built to my standards, and it WILL be a jaw dropping, tire shredding, scary as hell car.
