At times I did yes. That car begged to be driven hard.
I just have always preferred Japanese cars in regards to cost.

I have said this before and I will say it again. The whole concept behind the twins was to return to the glory days of sports cars when it was all about cheap, rwd, light weight cars, not about the numbers, not about lap times, or quarter miles.

If you purchased a twin and complain about its stats, then you just dont get it.

I owned a 490 awhp 04 STi. The straight line speed isn't the same on my frs but I can corner way better in the frs. I gotta say I love the frs more overall but still miss the power of the STi.
Frs slow? No way! I wouldn't really say its fast either. In my mind I think about it as quick and nimble. Nothing too crazy for power but enough to make the car balanced.
