Sometimes, as I sit inside ruminating, I wish I had just kept my old 325i and continued the search, or bought the bullet and just paid longer green than I was willing to to get the right e36, but every time I get in and drive the FR-S I smile and those thoughts go away.

My ONE complaint about the car is probably a positive for most people. I hate the sound, and yes, I've tried plugging up the "sound generator" tube. I've always enjoyed "stealth" performance cars; my e36 looked like a slightly sporty unassuming little family sedan, but man, you could push it and it handled GREAT, and it didn't scream and putter like a 3-year-old who didn't want to go to bed. It just quietly and calmly did whatever you asked it do, with GREAT enthusiasm.

TRUE capabilities and performance need not be shouted to the world, but are more admirable when humbly offered, in my book. Wish the FR-S was quieter (and yes, I'm running all stock). Other than that, I love it.

The sound tube amplifies engine noise inside, but doesn't do anything for the outside of the vehicle, which is honestly pretty quiet.

if the brz never existed...the average 1/4 mile times of all cars combined would be 15 seconds instead of 17...

oh wait, this is a "what would I have bought instead" post.

Probably would've been driving a wrx or something, I suppose

Honestly... Probably would've saved up for one of these...


Camaro ZL1's are badass right now...

I'm really not a Muscle car kind of guy, but those ZL1's are bursting at the seams with awesome.


I'd go more the Exige route:

Eventually would've gotten a 370Z or G37 Coupe once my G35 started to get too old and have issues. Loved my G35, and had no issues with it, and I had decided that it was pointless to have a car payment for basically the same car with some more power unless I absolutely needed to replace. I had been following the development of the BRZ since the first FT86 concept and loved the idea. So I convinced myself to get one and haven't looked back since!

I'm not a muscle car guy either. That would be the only one I'd buy.

[BoxRZ_86]

it had to be RWD. so probably 2015 mustang.

[D_Thissen]

Probably a '13 Camaro/Mustang (that the MY of my FRS). If I was currently looking, the 370z is tempting since it starts at around $31,000CAD.

[rosol16]

If were talking muscle for sure the Hellcat. Otherwise maybe an Evo X or a 05 Viper ACR

[BRZZZZZZZZZZ]

I've probably already replied to this thread in the past but if it never existed I probably would have expressly gotten a S2000 instead, which is what I have now. I really enjoy it.

[vitti821]

I would go camaro

[bfrank1972]

2013 Boss 302 LS

[Twin4Life]

Veyron and/or 918 Spyder
