Really depends on how much more power I'd be getting with a Super Charger and let's be real about how much it would be with accessories and TTT. From factory I'd estimate about a 40-60 HP increase. Let's just say 36k OTD for a 260 HP FRS with minor suspension and body modifications. That just might be worth waiting for.

20% of 25K is 5K.

The TRD supercharger is a part. Cost could be 3-5K, installation extra.

the car cost is 25k so 20% is 5k, that'd be a stealth considering TRD brake kit part alone is 10k+

It is no shame to be corrected. Even the best writers have editors.

LOLZ! I am too embarassed!! You know, when I was making that post, I ran the numbers in my head, and then when I went to post it, I thought to myself,"Man, I better redo these numbers on a calc." So I whipped out the desktop calculator, and I redid it and different numbers popped out. You know how it is, if the calc says you're wrong then you're probably wrong. I guess I musta hit the wrong button or something. HAHAHAHA!

Worst part is, I'm Asian. I guess everyone here can tell I'm Asian-American then huh? LOLZ!

I would have happily paid $30K for this car with forced induction with warranty. Instead, I'll be dropping probably $6-7K at some point to add 75-100 rwhp. I live in Ohio, so Toledo could be in my future for the upgrade.

What does Toledo offer?
