also my buddy said he saw a black one last week,shortly after i saw the blue one i saw. Both within 5 miles of one another.

c7scayman · 07-16-2012, 08:45 AM

I have seen 2 BRZ's and 1 FRS on the road in the past month.

marshallpre1 · 07-16-2012, 09:03 AM

I've driven the car. It is awesome. Scion dealer by me has two demo cars for test driving only- a manual and an auto. The sales guy told me to turn VSC to sport and have fun.... and I did. Loved the car. He told me wait is about 6-8 weeks after order. I would buy one in a heart beat if I could... and that's coming from a guy with a 500whp Supra.

What's wrong with spotting a stock car that just came out this year? Half the spots in this section are stock wrx's or sti's... Or other stock cars with plasti dipped wheels...

Erik@R/TTuning · 07-16-2012, 09:51 AM

I think I've seen 4 Scions at this point and 2 BRZs. More than I expected to see so quickly.

Lol I agree but of course everyone has their idea of fun.

Honestly, if anyone in the montgomery area wants to check one out or go for a spin and a slide, hit me up. Not trying to be showy but I do enjoy sharing my enthusiasm like most of the people here.

TNTramair · 07-20-2012, 02:50 PM

ive driven quite a few of them (FR-S) here at work. its not gonna blow anything away in a straight line but the cars handle exceptionally well. cant wait for the winter time to come and have all these new FR-S owners complaining that the traction sucks in the snow (if we even get any of that crap anymore)...lol. they definetly sell though as we cant keep them on the lot. we'll get a new shipment once a month...2-3 of them and they are gon usually within a day or so.

Fujito · 07-20-2012, 11:03 PM

I've seen one black FRS around me, but that's it.

I don't like to pick on slow stock cars because there's no point. BUT due to how hyped these are I'm sure I'll run into some excited new owner who doesn't know anything about cars and wants to race lol.

don't get excited by that link url, it's only 54.5hp

J-ShaZzle · 07-21-2012, 08:24 PM

I'm still waiting to see one or have one pull next to me so I can laugh.

alot of that is a lie. They stopped due to them still learning the fuel mapping. They are pushing for a max of 6-8 psi for that turbo.

ghostRS · 07-22-2012, 12:46 PM

If they ever made a turbo/awd one id be serious interested. I think its a sharp looking car but the low power is a bit of a turn off when you can snag WRX's all day long for under $10k.

I've said it. Car is really fun in the twisties but the lack of power blows. 200 hp was so early 2000's.

Yes it will stock for stock but once you hit a strait you're done for. Sorry just the way it is.

Last time I checked roads have more then just turns. Same with race tracks. Taking a turn fast is great but if it can't get out of its own way what's the point. You could always go auto crossing with it but if you ask me that's pretty boring as well compared to being on a real track.

J-ShaZzle · 07-22-2012, 08:59 PM

I just don't get what all the hype is about. Can't you lower, gut, and bolt on an old civic to get the same experience?
