Careful guys...he's watching us...
However, I think that may be the case, (ignored/blocked) since his current activity is viewing the original troll thread that started all this. Although when i click the link, it says "Invalid Thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator." Maybe I should contact the administrator, since this is a valid link, after all |

Thanks for the honesty, but I prefer "Fun Running Scion" instead. As this is my first "Sports Car", I'm fine with the fact that it's not a "Quarter Miler". If that's what I wanted to drive, I'd have bought a "Muscle Car". I like the fact that I can go around curved roads nearly as fast as my bike with good MPG. And crowding (drafting) people with fast cars in the curves on a road coarse, awesome. I don't want to race anymore, just enjoy the drive in a spirited fashion. And for my money, my AT FR-S is doing a bang up job. See you at BIR.

When I first test drove the FRS, I was extremely disappointed. I had a MKV GTI. It was a test drive at a mini track, but they wouldn't let you get out of 2nd gear. Then I had the chance to ride with a buddy, and finally really test drive one. My opinion immediately changed. The FRS is like fine wine. Not everyone likes wine, but it's up there with the greats for those that recognize what they have

Ditto. Ditched my MKV GTi for my FR-S. Sure, i miss low-midrange grunt and the hatchback cargo hold about 3 times a year. Otherwise I really never look back. LOVE my '86.

I also think it is strange that most people think 200hp is slow. Consider the Integra Type-R. That car is praised by auto enthusiasts as one of the best FWD entry level sports cars ever made. But it has "only" 195hp stock on a naturally aspirated 1.8L engine! My first car was an Integra GSR, and I moved up to an RSX-S then the BRZ. Maybe I'm naive because I've never driven a corvette or some other 400+hp vehicle, but the 86 does not feel slow to me (well, except for the first couple thousand RPMs of first gear from a stop without launching the car). And when a car weighs 700-800 more pounds, 100hp makes less of a difference. If you think the 86 is slow, you are driving it the wrong way. Quote:
Also, I've been trying to be open-minded lately. I am a JDM fan, but that doesn't have to mean that Mustangs, Camaros, etc are junk cars and can't compete with JDM. I believe a true auto enthusiast should appreciate all cars, regardless of brand or horsepower.

I come from 100hp Miatas and having to bite my tongue around a Mustang until we show up at a windy road which rarely happened. Of course I still have my Miata and I love it dearly but when I test drove my FR-S, it was like jumping into an exotic car. All the gadgets and the modern side of it combined with a STUNNING 200hp sold me. Drive Miatas for 5 years straight and then jump in an FR-S and one of the words that will ignorantly come out of your mouth will be "fast". I don't think the FR-S is slow by any means and it's extremely capable in the corners but it would have been pretty sweet to have 250hp at the wheels. But with that being said, it would've been sweet to have 155 in the Miata or 250 out of the new SkyActive engine in the ND Miata. We're always whining about more power but I love these cars regardless.
