Default First FR-S Delivery & A/M Parts Event

Hey guys,

We have a few spots left for our small FR-S event this week. We'll be handing over the keys to our First 86 winner (which will be the first officially sold FR-S in the US). In addition, we'll have an FR-S that you can sit in (unfortunately can't drive it!) and have an open discussion with reps from Five Axis Design, GReddy, Mackin Industries, and OEM Audio... and, of course, food

Send me a PM if you're interested in coming. I'll edit this posting once he hit the limit (about 10 spots left).

Thanks,
Jeff

even if the subaru verison is the fastest... they are still slow cars and not worth the money imo... scion flop.. so much hype on a "new true sports car" returns again and ... to have 200hp and a 6sec 0-60 time. =X

The BRZ is faster because of it's slight biased towards neutral understeer. However, the FRS is more fun to drive since it's biased toward neutral oversteer.

Both are pretty dang neutral (I've driven both manual ~about a mile or so...haha~ and auto ~about 5 miles~ precision machine!!) and I felt the oversteer if I punched it early through a turn. I've yet to drive (or even see) the BRZ so I can't do a comparison to that. So for technical courses with tight turns, the FRS will be superior. Through high speed tracks with large sweeps, the BRZ will be superior. It's such a minor difference, but makes all the difference in the right situation (and, of course, driver skill).

It was nice getting to sit in the FR-S, I can tell it's definitely going to be popular with the tuner scene. Boxer engine sounded good too! but damn it should really have been a 2 seater car, that backseat is a JOKE lol Even with the seat half way back, it would be impossible for the average person to have their lags down behind the front seats!
