What an amazing car and such an intoxicating engine sound.

It's a little flat mid range but kicks hard around 5500RPM - 7000RPM
And the car just wants to go sideways!

Verdict: LOVED IT!!! Best car in the last 10 years!!!
Thanks for the review. But that's kinda random isn't it?

This post would be better off living in another thread. This is totally off topic for the current posting. But thanks for posting anyway. I'm glad to hear you liked the car.


I can't wait to see some more of the videos from this event. Looks like the FR-S is going to do pretty well.

I know its technically possible for Ken and the FRS to not qualify, but he is such a good competitor the odds are slim to none. Im confident we will see Ken qualify atleast in the upper half for a spot on Sat.

It wouldn't be unheard of. The first event has a huge drivers list and only 32 make it to Saturday. Last year the 2010 champion in a winning chassis failed to qualify and Gushi is in a brand new untested chassis.

Untested chassis for sure, so I wish him the best, although I expect a full season maybe season and a half to dial in and iron out the kinks. Any shorter of a time than that would be phenomenal...

Maybe if he fails, we can do some ride alongs on Saturday at a different locale. I did notice in one video the car has two seats!
