January 15th, 2012 | Author: Scion unveiled its Racing GReddy FR-S race car in January 2012 during the North American International Auto Show (NAIA). The FR-S will be competing in the 2012 Formula DRIFT series with veteran driver Ken Gushi behind the wheel. The FR-S race car will feature over 600 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque. The FR-S race car is the product of strong collaboration between Scion Racing and GReddy, a performance-products company that has been involved with Toyota and racing for over twenty years. That means that you can expect to smell rubber and be knocked over in awe of the power that this little rocket will deliver during drift events.
The race car is inspired by the 2013 Scion FR-S, a new compact rear wheel drive (RWD) sports car that will go on sale in the spring of 2012. The high-performance coupe is the fifth model to join the Scion product range and brings back memories of Toyota’s Supra. Scion is planning to release the FR-S race car around spring of 2012 when the 2013 Scion FR-S will also be released for sale. Both cars will challenge the current compact sports car scene and the overall racing standards as the new FR-S race car stands to compete with a number of other high performance tuners.

Buying a car is like a dream for people who have been wishing for one; however, thanks to various online lenders, it is no longer impossible for anyone to get a car. Auto loans come in many types and depending on your paying capabilities, you can choose between new car loans or used car loans.
Having a car makes life better. You can travel anywhere you want to go and have freedom. There are a lot of perks when getting a car but there are responsibilities too. Your purchasing power can limit your car selection and for the sake of being practical and realistic, choose a used auto loan suitable to your budget and needs.
Applying for a used auto loan is easier when you do it online. There are many online lenders who are willing to give free quotes of their loans. Once you have collected several quotes from various direct lending companies online, compare them to find the best terms and rates that would work for you. Use an auto loan calculator, which is available in many online lender websites, to have an idea whether you can really purchase a car and see how much you will likely spend every month to pay off the loan. Since every lending company offers different payments and interest rates, auto loan calculators will prove to be useful.
Some online lenders, however, charge high APR or interest rates. When you find yourself in a similar situation, you can consider a refinance auto loan. Basically, having a refinanced auto loan can help you save money when paying your loan.
Sometimes, car companies give you extremely high interest rates for your car. To lower your monthly payments, refinancing will aid in economizing your payments. After a few months of regularly making payments on time, you can ask your current auto loan lender to pay off the balance on your current loan. Once you have that, look for a reliable and reputable company who does auto refinancing. They will ask you to sign a few documents, and assess the payoff balance. Assuming that everything went well, your auto refinancing company will pay off your existing balance with your old lender, giving you a new loan with better rates. Through a refinance car loan, your loan will be replaced with lower rates, making it easier for you to pay your debt monthly.
