And thank god no one keeps the Z stock, swap the exhaust and intake, and all of a sudden you hear the engine, you hear the exhaust, you freed the horsepower and now you're ready to rumble...


When I first saw the FRS, ew, walked away, second time I was at a dealer looking to buy my dad a car, and what REALLY put me off was the exhaust tips that are doubled... How ghetto is this thing??? And for $25k, I'd buy a base 370Z... Sorry FRS/BRZ fans...
That being said, I'm a sucker for Toyotas, but FRS, get away from me
I agree w/ you. . . It doesn't look very good: kind of simple, boring, and cheap; but, why wouldn't you want a boxer engine ? I'm impressed with Subaru's boxer 4 cylinder engines because of their low/flat balance and good fuel economy.
