1117.19 / 4 = $295 per person.

I am hopefully that by next spring I will have either a FRS or SRT-4.
All of those cars are great choices. I was the one that traded an S2000 for an FRS, and yes, not actual regrets. A little down from power, but I have already managed to start making that up The FRS and SRT4 are probably better daily drivers IMO, but again, its up to your preferences. Good luck on the purchase of whatever you get!

I'm finally getting used to the volume of my catback. The only time it bugs me now is when the engine is still warming up and the idle is still high.

Any progress on the underbody panels group buy?
