    To be honest, I've had my eye on that FR-S since they came out with the concept. I've researched other cars, Saleen Mustangs, LS1 Camaro's etc. Once I drove the FR-S, I knew it was a top of the list contender. And the list of 25,000 dollar sports coupe is short.

    I have not driven an s2000, not sure they are still being made. The beemer M3 might be out of the price range.

    I'd recommend at least driving the s2000.. they're a kick in the ass. I haven't really looked at the FRS though.. is it ff or fr?

    FF or FR? Not sure what you mean. The FR-S is a rear wheel drive, hardtop not offered in convertible. Curb weight around 2700 lbs, comes in 6 speed manual or 6 speed auto with paddle shift. Manual is stock short throw, plain as hell interior with factory bolstered racing seats. They designed it very very well, exceptionally low center of gravity. Interior has all the amenities but isn't overbearing.

    Because Toyota and Subaru designed the car together. Toyota is selling it under the Scion branch and Subaru is selling it as a Subaru. Compression is 12.5:1 and its naturally aspirated.

    Like I mentioned to Devin, the forced induction is currently coming solely from aftermarket groups such as Vortech and HKS. Greddy has some stuff out there as well but the high compression is making it hard to turbo this thing. It's turning to a supercharger market.

    I believe Relentless Fab does, maybe BAMF as well. They are both in the vendor section. s10nick has made done some damn good custom work as well, he's here local in NoCo.
