What do you think about the scion frs

I think the car is good. What I have issue with is those absurd fanboy owners. They think this car is the greatest sports car ever made

Jordo!

Haven't heard this, but details would be of interest.

As you know, I've really peed in their lemonade on this

I just don't get how they fail to see that Toyota literally re-wrote the rules on what defines a sports car by throwing actual performance metrics completely out the window

Oh, except for CoG. That's one metric they have noooo problem crowing about

If they had done what Nissan had done -- pick a pricier car with good performance numbers and said, "we can do that at 1/2 the price!" it would have been a MUCH better car.

Oh well... here's hoping for a Gazoo twincharged or Subaru boosted version.

I completely agree with you on this. But I found it frustrating to reason with those fanboys on their forum. For instance, I would never say that the Z is as good as Lambo or Porsche, but those 86 fanboys would make such claim, which I consider simply retarded. However, even the stock Z can be as fast as some Maserati and Porsche regardless the precision in handling. What can the 86 do? It's basically too slow to be a real "sports car", so they can only make themselves feel better by saying it handles better than a Porsche or GT-R. Silly.

My bad, it didn't win in the ProSolo. It was actually some Street Tire class it won. I guess it doesn't mean anything.

Thank you.

I think it's a decent looking little car. I think the price is pretty ambitious given the interior quality on the base car, but I'd like to see the inside of a BRZ Limited before I say it's really overpriced.

Performance wise, when I heard "200 HP" I was thinking "Uh, OK, so is it like 2300 lbs?" and when it came out at nearly 2800 I was quite disappointed.

But for crying out loud, the fanboys. I am so tired of hearing about how this car is perfect and an extra 50 HP would ruin the car. It's as if it's not a "driver's car" unless you can put a brick on the accelerator before you run it through some cones in a ******* parking lot.

The backwards logic is astounding to a point where I just can't even stand to listen to it anymore.

Jordo!

The **** of it is... the car only makes 150 lbft CRANK torque, and loses a whopping 20 lbft in the mid range -- with only 150 tq on tap, before drivetrain losses it cannot afford to plummet further.

This car desperately needs boost... but not in the minds of those whose last car was a 1996 Civic without a muffler -- to them this car is a big breasted wetdream come true

Oh... the humanity. The car is such a fucccccccking disapointment

But, yeah, if they had kept this at MX5 or MR2 weight, it would have been a whole different animal. Instead it's the logical upgrade from a Corolla -- barely

Same here. I just cannot stand those fanboys' claim like it's the purest sports car ever. Give me a break. As they keep saying it's the spiritual successor of AE86. Guess what? AE86 was a freaken Corolla. that's it, and those fanboys made the AE86 like it was Skyline GT-R.
