That statement makes no sense, when you're dumping tens of thousands into an FR-S.

What's with the coilover to Eibach thing? Is that just a spring kit or what?

Makes sense to me e92 was 70k gas a month ill say for me is about 800-1000 a month. Add up with insurance. 10k into frs making its around 36k car with light body I can leave the M3 in a dust and save over 40k. Get it??


Plus e92 there's barely any mods to upgrade beside exhaust and supercharge , thier exhaust run alone over 1k supercharge is about 10k which only gives you around 360-400whp and torque is still in the 200s.

Ok. I'll give you that one.
Sorry if I seemed a bit skeptical at first, but the majority of members on this forum make me feel like I'm back in 2001 when the original F&F Movie was released.

No it's fine , I had to explain it alot of times with my friends also. I'm really satisfy with this car though. Maybe just my opinion.
