This Car Rocks !

2015 FRS Ultramarine, man trans. Waited for the 15 models, hopefully they've got the bugs out by now. Did my research. A Lotus Elise ? No warranty on a used car. A Porsche Cayman ?, too much money. FRS equals a lot of bang for the buck.

Have had the FRS 12 days now. 900 Miles on the clock, just local driving. First day drove winding crappy roads along the Lost Coast. 137 miles on that day. Beat the crap out of the car that day. Break in period, what's that ? Hit the rev limiter couple of times, bottomed out the front bumper once, several times since then.

I'm almost 68yo. Have owned over 55 cars in my lifetime. This one, best handling car ever. They really got it right with this one. Those Japs paid attention to details, steering wheel size and shape, seats, shifter and E-brake location, pedals right for heel and toeing, even a drink holder in the door.

Not much wrong with what they did. Between 4500rpm and 7500rpm is a total blast with this car.

Looking currently for a place to drift this car, and the PlastiDip's waiting for me to apply it...no time..too busy driving.

Complaints: Not much so far. We all know about that mid rpm lag in power, and there's not the feel in steering of a Lotus, but overall, a blast of a car to drive and enjoy daily.
This one's a keeper. Shall I sell my 05 Mustang GT yet ? Hmmm, not sure.

Hi all!! After months of waiting I was FINALLY able to buy an 86..2012 ZN6 Fuji red

After owning just about every import in existence its a good change to own something built for the local market! Short list of mods so far includes smoked tail-lights, winjet headlights, smoked side markers are on their way, Berk muffler delete yet to be installed and I just picked up a set of XXR 527 18x9.75's..Now I'm just waiting on tyres, coils and LCA's and maaaany more mods to come
