Finally pulled the Trigger! Raven Black 15

So been a member since 2009 but didn't get my FRS until a couple weeks ago. I must say I was guilty of knocking it for being under powered but after owning one for about a month I must say I'm converted!

The car is not about straight line speed but the whole package feedback, turning and feel. I love it.

2015 Raven black 6 speed already got Wedssports/KW V2/SuperTek/TRD etc.

Congratulations! You must have joined the forum when you heard the car was being designed?

Congrats I was on that not enough power camp as well but after driving this thing for a while I'm starting to appreciate fact 200 hp is more than enough plus fun factor.

Well, you can "fix" that ..... block off half of the air filter, add another cat and get a reverse tune .......

Thanks guys. Now just for comparison my other car is a modded ISF with 400 whp but before that I had a Turbo IS300 making 700 rhwp. lol

So that said the car is a blast I love it and once warranty is up may go vortech supercharger just to give her a nice bump.
