Yeah on Sunday drove next to a older fellow probably in his early 30's driving on highway 1 towards metro town..overall my impression from when I saw it driving was sits very low to the ground but is in dier need of new rims and maybe some coilovers to get rid of the gross wheel gap...

I haven't driving one yet since the one here in Langley is an auto and rather drive the standard one to see how it performs..

Rich, you'll be one of the drivers competing in this right?

How young are you? hah

24 u?

Damn, what's with the fake vents? I noticed the Genesis has fake plastic vents on their hood too

Only the countdown will tell!

+1 noticed this at the auto show, looks like crap.

Tested it today at OpenRoad Scion, love the handling, though the inside could be a bit nicer, I guess that's the trade-off for a cheap but fun car. Very tempting, but the waitlist is for another 3-4 months. :okay:

Drove beside a white one around lunch time today.. great looking car

father picked his white one up today. Gonna check it out over the weekend and put on an rs decal for extra hp :D

I thought the FRS/BRZ only comes in manual. Does the auto shifter look like the Camrys or tC?

anyone know if the car can be locally ordered bundled with five axis kit? i asked about trd stuff as well and all the salesmen/parts guy did was look confused.

I've heard those five axis kits are going to be VVEEERRRYYY popular.

WOW. That's awesome nice.

The automatic gearbox is modified from the IS-F.. the same trick used by Genesis coupe.

pretty impressive the car can do this kinda stuff in full stock trim

Five Axis/FIVE:AD teamed up with Capcom to create the 25th Anniversary Street Fighter Scion FR-S. Inspired by the Street Fighter character "Ryu", this FR-S is equipped with a FIVE:AD aero kit/spoiler, R5:F wheels and more.

Not sure if I like the two tone paint... :suspicious:

Looks like a Ferrari GTO. Love it!

more awesome video: Great driver + FRS + VIR = WIN!!

Nicely done 2 tone paint. God this car looks good!

Took it for a spin around the neighbourhood with my father (just like that dad/son subaru commercial heheh).
it's a fun car :D he loves the styling of it.

^i wish my dad was into cars :( there was this scion fr-s commercial on tv and i mentioned to my dad that i'm going to test drive this car on sunday. he gave me this look that pretty much said 'you better not be spending $ on cars again' :okay:

With how well the car has been reviewed in stock form for being fun and playful, I wonder how things will change with a set of 'real' wheels and tires. Most reviews seem to note that power is adequate, but with 18's or even 19's and some suitable rubber to match, hopefully this doesn't make the car too sluggish

I think that is going to be a common mistake when people modify the FRS/BRZ. If consideration of wheel weight and tire diameter isn't taken into account, the balance could suffer. The car was a BLAST to drive on the crappy stock rubber. I also think one modification that will be very popular is a new flywheel. It felt way way way too heavy for the power of the car.
