I love the new car! I was just checking out the BRZ a few days ago and they've been selling as soon as they get them in.

Was there a big dealer markup on the price? The markup on the local BRZ's was so high that I had to pass on getting one.

Did you able to see the car in person in the showroom? how it look?
Yes, the BRZ has 5k marked up rip-off above the sticker price if you walk in the dealer. So most of the buyer order the car and wait for at least 2 to 3 months for delivery. If you order today at the dealer and if you are LUCKY enough on the long list may get it end of August. But what I see on the market right now you probably wont see your car arrival until end of september !!! the everyday long waiting for the car is what killing . Car is shortaged all over the world and very limited production. The factory just can't produce fast enough for the demand. Hope you get one and good luck.

oh my gosh i saw a five axis kit on one the other day and I was drooling over it. So tempted to go test drive one which would probably lead to bad things.

To whom interested in this car and want to check out locally. There will be about 50 BRZ/FRS show up for tour event at Longo on August 5 from 8-10:30am at the parking lot. I will be there for some pics. There won't be any dealers around here can cary all of them at the same time with full loaded colors and mods

Updated: After the tour they will be back at Longo for more party from 5pm to around 9pm !

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scion FRS Drive Tour Los Angeles!

The first-ever official drive tour gathering of Scion FRS, Subaru BRZ and AE86, that takes us through streets, canyon roads, highways and stopping through the most scenic areas in Los Angeles, meeting many other owners and fans along the way. This event will take place on August 5th, 2012 Sunday and will start in the morning and last an entire day, ending at Longo Scion for a car meet with other Toyota/Lexus/Scion owners in the late afternoon.
Official Media will accompany us taking lots of photos and we’ll have plenty of time along the way to share friendship and chat about cars.
This event is exclusive to FRS owners, and registration will be online in limited quantities of 40 spaces, so as to keep it organized and efficient for this event. This will be a first of many to follow that may cover greater distances in the future with more people.

There will be a keepsake collector’s guidebook map of the route, and other memorabilia marking the event for registered participants. Registrations will open on July 7th, and will cost $25 per car, good for one driver/owner and 1 guest. The same amount will be paid out on the day of the event upon check in, with a gas credit card or gift certificates, along with benefits for the event. Lunch and dinner will be catered for registrants.

Timeline:

August 5th, 2012
8am, Owner Check in at Longo Scion
9:30 am Driver's Meeting
10:30 am Start of Drive
5:00 pm End of Drive back at Longo Scion Banquet All-Scion/Toyota/Lexus meet event.

Details of the actual route and checkpoints will be revealed at the morning of the event, presented with a map and route planning kit, and keepsake memorabilia. At the end, a completion certificate. This is not a race or a rally, it is a casual drive tour with checkpoint locations that is easily accessible even with a bit of city traffic, so please keep in mind to drive safely!

There will be NO on-site Registration once the 40 slots are filled with online entries.

JUST INCREASED TO 50 SLOTS, but only 5 spaces left!!!!!!
======================================================

This TRD Kit w/ rear diffuser Quad tips is insane . I believe TRD test it and name the car something like N1 version w/ more HP on youtube, but we don't know how many HP under the hood. I already seen some vendor have installed this kit at FT86 forum.

GT86 & BRZ limited interior look almost idential layout except more red trim on GT86. The FRS only offer base barebone cut down trim for ~3k less.

Oh boy the development for turbo & supercharger kits just keep on going for record to be broken.
And here it run today 1/4 11.3s @127.49 mph; 0-60 is unknown at this point but it could be in low 4.2s . BTW, what is the M3 coupe stock turbo for 1/4 ?
