yah, it looked thin and cheap. do you remember back in the late 80's toyota had the Tercel? not the bubbly looking one but the one that looked like a thin/flat wooden wedge? it reminded me of that.

Can't say. Was sworn to secrecy since they don't want cops patrolling it lol. We can discuss on the next recon or via PM. :D

I walked around one the other week at the Subie dealer. I thought it was pretty nice. Maybe slightly cheap looking but then again, its a pretty cheap car. Looks like it could be fun. I know all the reviews I have read have been pretty favorable.

:iagree: if one doesn't already have a fun car, i think might be a good car to start. imho the very first thing the car needs is wheels and a nice drop like modding mom's old accord or something. but then it will probably loose that quick handling people rave about in the reviews. wish it came out of the box looking better.

Too late. Both of your electronic finger prints have been loaded into my database here at Langley....er Houston.

Sorry ms. pint, this was a loyalty test that you failed miserably. I had a drone follow you, JAR, and the other GM Z on your little cruise. mr. JAR can handle a car pretty well. I may have a little "job" for him down in Venezuela next week. I guess I need to find out if he's ever done a HALO (Google it) jump before.

Carry on citizens, carry on.

I agree, it needs rims BADLY, I hate them. A drop would def be nice too.

AWD causes more parasitic loss than RWD or FWD... Other than that maybe gearing. I was going to say heavy but I checked and it's actually about 2900 lbs, which is surprisingly light.

There was a FR-S autocrossing with me earlier in the month - it looked pretty nice (wheels were decent) and got good times.

yah, they dropped the weight and also the powerband from the previous gen. which is fine, but the fastest ive seen is 8sec 0-60mph time and that's probably with a tranny shattering like glass launch with a 5k drop. :ugh2:
rolling start to 60mph is 9.5sec :facepalm: how do you manage living with a 10sec rolling start car when they're asking for $22K?

2K more and got a mazdaspeed3 tearing up the road with sub-6sec launch.

EZ- you need to get some new glasses or contacts or lasik before your next mod. :icon17:
