Besides people in Japan, who's bought the car? A deposit does not equal a purchase. It's just saying "don't sell it until I can figure out if I like it or not." I haven't heard of anyone taking delivery yet in the U.S. The first ones to get the chance at the FR-S are the people who won the contest.

I could care less whether you or anyone else likes the car. You're not going to change anyone's mind that wants to buy it. You can't even post anything legitimate to make someone even consider otherwise. I will say this though, next step for you is a ban.

I walk K swapped Honda's. Last I checked k swapped meant modified. So guess you can't mod an FR-S/BRZ?
Last I checked also, the car was not built to be the new fastest kid on the block. It's a Miata competitor dude, yet you insist on comparing it to super cars.

^ So that means that I should and everyone should love the car too? Get real. You should prepare your excuse list whenever lap times from popular and known tracks start appearing for the FRS. I'll like to hear why it didn't beat non driver's cars around a driving track.

Rofl. I've been comparing to cars in its price range (new and used). But since this is a scion forum, I guess 5.0 Mustangs and bmws are super cars here. Rhythm why do you continue to spat on the forum? You walk K swap Hondas? Good fing job bro. That is so relevant and must be so hard to do. Unfortunately, frs owners will never experience that with their stock $26k car.
Why do I post on scion forums if I don't like the car? Hmm. Why do you post "kill stories" and only have videos of you "beating" people at non racing events such as hpde. (high performance driving events). It's actually against the rules to be racing on such an event.

I own a Scion and contribute to the Scion community by bringing Helpful information about our Scions. I have years of street racing vids and newer vids are all track. I have competed in Redline Time Attack, and currently working on some new track mods to take it to the next level for competition.
That's far from why you are here. So, why are you here again? This time try to answer the question with a legitimate answer.
PS the Miata is $28 starting..

P.s. BMW's and 5.0's are far from super cars around here.

A stock S2k puts down somewhere in the neighborhood of 143wtq as well if I remember. The thing I learned about low torque, high rpms, flat curve output is that you can put the HP down nearly 100% of the time without needing to lift.

Umm...YEA! Try Koto (AKA Rocket Bunny) is working their magic for the FR-S. I'm Done! They come out with this, rims and this kit will be my first mods.
You know you're doing things properly when Kei Miura, the man behind TRA Kyoto, picks you out of a crowd and excitedly introduces himself to you - which is exactly the once in a lifetime experience Rod and I had earlier today in the busy paddock area of Formula D Long Beach.
"You... Speedhunters?" he asks. Rod and I smile and nod. "ohhh, come... I have something to show you" he says frantically as we try our best to keep up.
We follow Kei and Masaru Ikeda, President of Trust Japan, into the GReddy support trailer. Still in shock we watch Mr. Rocket Bunny pull a massive laptop from a bag and flip it open, still unsure exactly what we are about to see.
These are the renderings he presented to us while exclaiming "you put up on site... today?" As you wish Miura-san! How can you say no to an offer like that?
At this point in time the car is only a rendering, but we are told that there should be a street driveable version completed at GReddy in Irivine soon. Stay tuned.

No different car. Although can't wait to see that one done too. This kit is sick though. Going to get this, now just got to figure out what color FR-S I want...lol. I'm waiting a year before buying mine. The TRD wing will probably look sick with this setup.

Ignore the troll. His lack of understanding of something so fundamental is really a shame. He won't even man up and post what kind of car he drives that's so awesome. That says a lot. If it's anything short of a Z06 he's a complete waste of time.
