Just sold my S14.5 !!! Time for my FR-S

Well guys i sold my project drift car today my 1996 S14.5 with an Built SR making 380 WHP. Sold it For 18K today and i am ready for my FR-S!! I cant wait to get my hands on the FR-S since its the perfect car for what i want, balance, reliability, lightness. How do you guys think the handling of the car will compare to my ex Nissan, i really loved how controlled the weight transfer was on my s14.5 since it was so light.

Pics of my EX S14.5 Im gonna miss it but i have a FR-S on order and i am debating on trading in my C63 for a GT-3 so i cant keep all of the cars my wife would kill me and so would my monthly bills

that looks like a nice 240 which is pretty hard to come by. hope you are just as pleased with the frs...or if you trade in the c63 you probably wont need an frs. you know...because you would have a gt3

I will miss it man, such a pleasure shifting it and tossing it around. I agree 18k was a bargain as soon as the buyer for the 18k sent me the payment i had another guy call me and offered 20 but the car was sold

Im sure ill be pleased with the FR-S i was looking for something a bit more underpowered and reliable so im sure the FR-S will fill in the spot nicely. GT-3 will be my street & canyon carver car , the FR-S will be my track car so im sure ill enjoy both. A friend of mine has a cayman-R and i have to say the price is more tempting than the GT-3 plus it feels more composed for some reason im starting to doubt the GT-3 in favor of the Cayman-R.

i would have done it the other was as i would be terrified to ruin a gt3 but whatever. while all i can do is speak about how the cayman and its rear engined big brothers felt at a couple events and repeat what much of the community feels, i think the cayman is the better car or at least it would be if porsche would have developed it as much as the 911. of course they wont but there is nothing stopping you.

You need to take a ride in a Cayman-R such a great car man, it feels porsche messed with what was wrong with the cayman-s and made it better. I have to say i was very impressed how well behaved it was.
