Loved my Evo, but I have no self control, and I was going to kill someone in it.

Love the 86. More than any car I've ever owned. I'm keeping this one.

You wouldn't happen to be the guy me and my drunk friends were talking to in the Cotixan's drive thru, would you?

Haha, well put!

According to this I'm saving my life and/or cash by just going with the 86 before all those high hp toys

Yupp. E46 M3 w/ a handful of performance mods. I'd be lying if I didnt say I miss the power. Love how the handling of the FRS seems par w/ the M though

I'm sure as the days go by the more I fall in love/appreciate this FRS

The nice thing about the FR-S is that it rewards driving better. I just have to make sure I downshift properly. Then it feels a lot better. Remember, 2nd goes to about 58mph and third goes above everything legal.

The E46 M3 market must be flooded with cars right now.

The ST is nicer on the inside though. Fully loaded so much more equipment and luxuries. Not to mention it's noticeably faster and a bit more comfortable on the road.

To sum it up, I would say the FRS is the more fun, spirited driving car. But the ST is the nicer, more practical DD. For a long cross country drive, I'd prefer the ST but day to day and on the track, the FRS is more my cup of tea

Mazdaspeed3 with the entire intake path opened up. Stupid amounts of torque for a front wheel drive. She'll bark the tires going into 3rd. Cobb springs and rear bar and 8 inch wide rims all around. The car is fun, but with 95,000 miles on her, it's either build it or move on. I'm tired of a stick and test driving the FR-S is the most fun I've had with an automatic in a long, long, time so it looks like I'll be joining the Scion club. Although after what I've read today, I'm going to wait for the '14 model year.

Maggied TBSS making 500HP at the wheels. I don't miss the gas bill.
