I do not understand why the BRZ/FRS needs so much power,
cuz I will buy it and instead of adding ALOT more HP
I say better wheels/tires
and make the car handle even better.
Its like a POWER slide vs a breaking drift..
GT-R vs AE86 ... kinda deal ...
I sat in the back seat of a Subaru BRZ, I had just enough head room
but my feet was buried( pinched ) since I had the front seats all the way down
unadjusted from when I was sitting in the front.
The back seats of the FRS/BRZ is only good for small kids/ or people
of smaller stature ( myself...
the above article sounds all crazy but in reality it already exist,
because each gallon of gas /diesel you pump has TAX laced in already.
so technically every mile you drive you are being taxed on
due to the fact that the fuel needed for your vehicle to be driven
is taxed.
those are some NICE numbers, BUT
I saw this car in person . . .
but I just can't stand how it looks with all the lights
and whatnot looking all BUSY up in the front.
If a person can get around the looks and like the new Gen Coupe
it can be quite the bargain.
Some people got their cars early because of where they live,
People in SoCal and Seattle got cars early due to being
so close to the port where the cars come in.
and those who got their cars probably pre-ordered
on March 1st at 9AM...
Others like myself (who waited a week or so to pre-order)...
i average 400-420 miles before i fill up, trip meter tells me i got 100 miles left.
i averaged 35mpg or so after 30k miles of driving.
I drive pretty conservatively, and had I driven more aggressively I am sure
I would of gotten 25mpg or so like someone posted with their TDI
(if I were to peel...
One reason I wont even touch the V6 Mustang is
because it'll be forsaken as a rental car special (like it is now),
but the BRZ/FRS on the other hand will NOT.
works for me at least
I am pretty sure it'll run on 91 octane , because thats all we got
here in the Bay Area, and I wont call the back seats un-useable
because for folks of smaller stature it'll work just fine.
I've seen pictures of kids in the back seat, JDM girls and
Asian people in...
All I know Is(from FT86club.com's forum) that there
is to be an onslaught of FR-S / BRZ products already in
the pipe line from ALOT of people OEM/after market.
The only thing left to do is wait it out.
heck I pre-ordered the car even without
seeing it in real life. :w00t:
Toyota/Scion will have TRD super charger ,
TRD intake/exhaust as 2013 comes around,
and I expect good things from Subaru's STI department as well.
Personally my first mod will be to remove stock antenna with shark fin one.
Yupz, I plan on either a TRD intake / TRD exhaust on the BRZ lol
or STI intake / STI exhaust on the BRZ , but then again 3rd parties
will do if the price is right.
and along with lighter wheels (RPF01) and slightly better tires(Conti DW)
To you GTI drivers out there 200HP NA will be low,
but I...
Now the only thing left is a Fifth Gear shoot out or Top gear review,
in the mean time the latest thing to do is tracking the ship which is transporting the cars last track in YOKOHAMA...
