Silver FR-S sunset photos and... Twin turbo mod. - Scion FR-S Forum | Subaru BRZ Forum | Toyota 86 GT 86 Forum | AS1 Forum

I am out of town for the weekend in Bend, Oregon and I stopped by the really nice new Toyota/Scion dealer here last night to check out the silver FR-S!

I liked the argento much more than I expected. I always have thought of silver negatively, but on the FR-S it looks really great and I was pleasantly surprised!

I want it.

This dealer is prepping to do a custom install for a customer, who is from British Columbia. The modification? Twin Turbos, which will bring that FR-S to 315BHP

I hope to hear more about that once it's done!

I want it.

Nice pics, it does look good even on a screen.

They need two turbos to get all the way to 315 BHP? I would love to see the end result of this install, but my curiosity is more morbid than anything else.

He could have said "350" but I thought it was 315.

The salesman also said he personally had the opportunity to drive both the FR-S and the BRZ at Portland International Raceway in one day. He says the FR-S seemed like a much different car than the BRZ, a much better car. He was saying how ridiculously fun it is, taking the corners sideways at 120mph. He also took a FT86 prototype around PIR a while ago, which was not nearly as good of a car as the final product according to him.

i hope its not a twin turbo setup on the FA20..or EJ20TT from the legacy..possibly the worst turbo Subaru engine ever.

It really is! I have seen the Asphalt, the firestorm, and argento, and I think argento is my favorite so far. I can't wait to see white

The whiteout will steal ur heart. That's what happened to me. Argento used to be my fav

Nice car. I think they dealer may have been blowing smoke up your ass a bit though. The only place he could've potentially hit 120 in this car would be on the back straight, and there is no way he went through turn 9 at that speed in this car.

You're thinking of turn 10, yes? Turn 9 is a flat out slight bend to the right.

I haven't driven the car so I can't speak to the car's power characteristics but a NA miata will do ~105 actual on the back straight. 120 might be possible with someone running on the ragged edge. But even then I don't think it has the straight line speed to do that, and certainly not with a salesman behind the wheel, and DEFINITELY there is no "going sideways at 120." Besides we all know indicated =/= actual speed.

CSSM · 06-04-2012, 01:13 PM

Yeah he wasn't saying it factually, he was saying how fun the car is so he exaggerated it a bit.

He did say it is the best car he has ever driven though

ESBjiujitsu · 06-04-2012, 01:42 PM

TT's!!!! very exciting!!! please keep us updated!!!!!

mines13 · 06-04-2012, 07:25 PM

I want to see how this turns out, I'm not putting much stock in it though.

Super late reply, but ya turn 10. I can understand a bit of bs, but that was pretty laughable. Desperate for commission..

Keep us updated on the TT development. Never heard of a dealer doing a custom install of aftermarket parts. Interesting.

Argento looks great in that last bit of daylight.
