Drove my buddies BRZ the other night. I went in with low expectations from all I read about the lack of power. I tell ya- it felt plenty peppy to me. Plenty of power to have fun on the streets. As said earlier, nobody is ever even going to be able to reach these cars limits on the streets. So if you want a fun, cool looking car, I feel this fits the bill for sure. Nice pickup, get rid of that wheel gap.

That’s cool! Cool little cars IMO. Any more pictures? I’d like to see the interior, too!  
Sweet ride. :tup:

Best looking new cars out there IMO. Can’t wait for the turbo version, if that ever comes out.

I’m so happy you traded in the WRX. Glad we were able to work out a deal on the FR-S for you too. I’m really enjoying your old car and I plan on taking it down to Erie on Sunday for autocross.

The FRS looks good with the choice of rims you went with on it.
