Pretty Awesome BRZ Development movie....It pretty much embodies why I chose to take an FR-S over the likes of a GC, Mustang GT, or other cars that are in the same price bracket.

Been a while since I have been on here but I am on the list and confirmed getting the FR-S (Sticking with scion of course duh)

Should have it in 3 to 4 weeks apparently.

I just saw a supposed pic of the first customer delivered car for the First 86 program. Shouldn't be long before they're at dealers.

I'm sure once someone actually "gets" an FR-S, there will be someone to figure out how to swap the center dash.

I find it pointless though. Car is to small for dual climate control.

I plan on it, hopefully even some GoPro action. I'm just not sure how much time I'll have with it. Should have pretty free range.

Sorry to be away so long but I wanted to give a invite for everyone wanting to see the FRS. I am in Chandler AZ at Big Two Scion and we were selected to deliver one of the "First 86" FRS. The guys at VIVID racing are purchasing the car and it just arrived this morning. Matt and the guys at Vivid have been nice enough to allow us to invite anyone local that wants to check the car out to come on down tonight or tomorrow while they take delivery. If you are local and want to see the FRS let me know or just drop on by. Big thanks to Vivid and Matt for letting us show the car to the local Scion fans!

Yes I did. I've been really busy so haven't gotten to the pics yet. Damn! That's a good idea, I should have taken one side by side. It's definitely smaller and a lower COG than even my lowered tC has. I might be able to go back and take a pic.

Just delivered first FRS to the guys from Vivid Racing... Hope to have the next ten in by the end of May for the June Launch. Vivid will be working on the car soon and volunteered to have the car out as they mod it for anyone that wants to check it out.
