GALAXY BLUE SILICA BRZ Compilation
After 3 months of waiting, I'm finally an owner. I've already put 130 miles on it in 2 days. I can't wait to get it broken in, shifting early is getting harder and harder to do - it just sounds so good from 4500 RPM and up!
GBS- looks awesome in direct sunlight, gets really bright. Then dark as the sun sets. Suspension - much stiffer than I expected. I'm coming from a Nissan Sentra and a Mazda3, both stock, so it's a bit different. Handling is crazy good, I've literally been searching for roads with more curves. Exhaust-quiet until 4000 RPM, then has a great rasp as the revs climb. I've been downshifting just to hear it more. Interior- feels tight at first - I'm 6'1 250, but its actually roomy up front. Not used to sitting so low, and less window area, so it exaggerates the effect. Once I got used to the feeling it has been great. Plenty of leg/elbow/headroom. Seats are FANTASTIC. The bolsters really hold you in. If I was any wider I'd be sitting "on" the seat rather than "in" it though. Haven't touched the radio or Nav yet. I paired my phone to bluetooth and that's it. I don't even have the presets programmed. Bluetooth sound quality is good and the touchscreen has been responsive the few times I've answered calls. A few pics attached, don't mind the water. I had to give the hood a quick rinse -apparently a bird didn't like my color choice. |

I have 2 orders, a Lightning Red Limited and a GBS Limited, seeing these makes me hope the GBS comes in sooner.

I've seen WRB and GBS is person, and I think the WRB is too flashy for me. I still have to see a DGM in person, but the GBS looks great in this thread, and if I were buying today is probably what I'd go with. I feel like I'd get tired of the bright color, and would get too much attention from cops, ricers, and car-keying-douches. |

Audi has a similar color called "Estoril Blue Crystal Effect" and it is gorgeous! I just drove an S5 coupe in that color and I had to gawk at it for a while when I parked it. Doesn't hurt that the S5 is gorgeous on it's own, but I want a car in this dark blue!

In your opinion... does this thread do GBS justice? Red for example is either unsaturated from a cellphone camera or glorified with some editing and a DSLR. I've kind of narrowed it down to GBS but that's assuming some of these pictures actually translate the color well

Can't interchange parts like: Toyota/Scion Outlet website -Trunk idk $500 Subaru Outlet website - Trunk $800 You can buy the Toyota/Scion version for less in blue than be forced to buy the Subaru version because it comes in a Subaru exclusive color

I know there are some GBS videos out there, but not many. Any of the GBS Mafia have videos of your car you're willing to share?

I just checked, there are no GBS BRZ's in a 200+ mile radius for sale. To me, that's good news because I like that this is one of the rarest colors!
Edit: Now there's 9 available in New England... drat!

Hello all GBS likers. I have a one on order and wondering if anyone has taken, or can take, some artistic photos of the BRZ in this colour. Would love some to help increasing the anticipation i am feeling for my car. Having to use a Subaru studio shot as my wallpaper at the moment, and it does not represent the colour very well. As you can see:
This is from here: http://www.ausmotive.com/2012/07/15/...o-gallery.html Some nice pics, but not of GBS. Note OZ spec cars, one model with options for seats and sat nav. And we get the bigger exhaust tips :-) |
