From what i understand the FR-S has the Lexus ISF trans with two less gears. As much as i wanted a standard im am very pleased with the paddle shifters as this car shifts like a motherfucker for a "flappy paddle" also like that it blips when downshifting!

FR-S auto > Gen Coupe auto

The FRS in general is greater then the gen coupe. That thing still feels like it should be a sedan.

I do miss her, but parts are getting rare and expensive, plus I didn't want a project for a while.
