Finally got her!

So I finally got my FR-S today after placing my order back at the end of Feb.

This car is so much fun to drive even for not having much power. I just love how tight the car feels and how responsive the steering is. The steering definitely reminds me of my Evo IX very quick and responsive. Also, it seems like you are driving much faster then you really are. I don't know what it is, but I love it. I turned of the nannies and got a little bit of sideways action and got some tire chirp shifting into second. I really need to get this thing on a track in a HPDE.

haha that is the truth. i've had a few black cars. i enjoy washing them though, so it's not a big deal especially since the FR-S is so low and small.
