Opinion of the FR-S from an R32 owner...

Thought you all might like this post from a San Diego friend I visited this weekend. He owns and tracks an '04 R32 and had a VERY well modded G60 Corrado (RIP-Pandora) . He now has a '93 VR6 Corrado that replaced the G60.

Anyway:

"The FT-86 is officially my favorite new car. Especially in red. With me driving it on the 15 North onramp from Carroll Canyon Road at about a zillion rpm. Thanks Tom for letting me behind the wheel!!"

I'd say that was a positive note!

I think I let about 5 or 6 people drive my car before I hit 1k miles. Everyone of them was a gear head and every single person loved it.

Very nice, I'm still pretty young and most of my friends most likely wouldn't treat her nice - not to mention only a limited few know how to drive manual.

Yeah, my friend and I used to tune cars together before I moved out to the central valley. He's very responsible and I knew he'd be good to her.

Very awkward to be in the passenger seat of your own car though. hahahaha!
