Purchased an 06 C6 convertible off the showroom floor. Bolt-ons got it to 440 hp.
Loved the car but wanted more car/driver involvement. Unfortunately the vette was an automatic.
My 12 370 6mt with FI CBE is perfect for what I wanted. However, a Z06 might be another story.....http://www.the370z.com/images/smilies/tiphat.gif

ive seen a lot of review knocking the fr-s's headunit that it looks dated and cheap. i happen to like that HU design. it looks like professional audio equipment from the late 80's/early 90's which is cool.

kinda reminds me of Emu Systems stuff.

PedalBox by DTE Systems GmbH - Introduced in North America by TWM Performance

I ordered one of these from TWM, it arrived DOA and TWM is very slow to process returns, I still haven't received my refund and they received the return almost 3 weeks ago. Don't waste your time on this POS and stay FAR away from TWM

I thought there was a fix for the delayed throttle response by doing something with te gas pedal? Spring swap or something. I'll have to find it when I have time.

Yeah I also heard wearing heavier shoes will do it.

If you are considering an FR-S and a 370z ...

I drove a friend's BR-Z, pretty fun cornering (easy, maybe too easy, to break loose), no power.

From what I've read the throttle response delay is only with certain Auto's .... idk =P

Intake modification enhances throttle response.

Evo=BEAST and highly mod-able, but lacking in quality and refinement.
FRS=slalom track car, no power, engaging to drive, lacking in refinement, but not quality.
370=BEAST, but not mod-friendly, high quality, but no refinement.
