By that time I probably already got my frs. My dealer told me there're only 41 cars coming to to Boston region and he secured one for me already.

Sayfailo · 05-10-2012, 09:26 PM

I'll be there for the 3pm - 4pm session with a posse. A bit late but the other slots were sold out! I've had my fill of hearing about it. Time to drive for myself!

bimmerboy · 05-15-2012, 06:51 PM

anyone who is coming to this event that already has their fr-s/brz, please bring it! would love to get some impressions from owners

Turbowned · 05-15-2012, 09:40 PM

I hope I don't have mine yet, I want to drive it first and let it sink in for a week or so before I make my final decision.

arbnpx · 05-18-2012, 11:16 PM

I didn't get a chance to register for a time slot, but I should have my FR-S by then. Hopefully they won't mind if I stop by and hang around.

bimmerboy · 06-04-2012, 01:26 PM

Bump- Have we decided on a ft86club meeting area?

CharlieChaos · 06-06-2012, 09:45 AM

I will be there early but I dont have my FRS yet waiting for it to come in =\

Yes I do believe we are meeting outside of Bass Pro Shops at about 11pm.

Partial Stall · 06-06-2012, 10:44 AM

If this wasn't 5 hours away I'd jump at it

How about a drive through NH mountains sometime?

NRGBalanced · 06-06-2012, 11:23 AM

I plan to be there with my BRZ. Probably won't show up at 11 but my girlfriend and I have sessions at 2 and 3 (wanted her to be familiar with the car before she learns stick if she drives it).

Sony, should I look for a BRZ or your big truck?

Sony · 06-06-2012, 04:35 PM

Unfortunately my boss informed me today that I can't go...he is going to be gone that day and needs me to cover for him...FML it's anyone wants my 2pm to 3pm slot it's not open heh.

WRXGuy1 · 06-06-2012, 05:17 PM

I was on the fence being able to go or not, looks like I can't now

Should be a fun day tomorrow

. (Note to self: Wash car tonight)

brzmass12 · 06-08-2012, 11:31 AM

I'm going to have to bail tomorrow. I already have my BRZ and I think I would rather spend the day driving it to the beach.

I have an 11:00 slot if anyone wants it.

Turbowned · 06-08-2012, 12:07 PM

I have to bail, too. My friend is gonna let me drive his BRZ instead.

EDIT: Screw it, I'm going! I thought my friends were going to a drift event in NH today and I was gonna go, too. Turns out they aren't so my afternoon is free! See you guys there

arbnpx · 06-08-2012, 10:58 PM

Weather forecast for Foxborough: mostly sunny, high 79. NW wind between 7 and 9 MPH. Sounds like beautiful weather for pictures; I'm bringing the camera.

Loki2x · 06-09-2012, 11:41 AM

I got there early so they put me in with the 10am group. When I sat down I immediately noticed the lack of pedals at my feet. I wish they had had a manual. Also the traction controls had been removed and the cars were set for full traction which made for more understeer than I woud have liked. I liked the seats a lot though. The driving position felt great. I would love to drive this car on a more open ended course like the autocrosses I am used to. I saw a nice turn out of WRXs and Miatas.

Turbowned · 06-09-2012, 03:28 PM

That was a lot of fun! Didn't get quite as much seat time as I was hoping for, but got a nice taste of how balanced the car was. I was told I should've left it in first gear because 2nd gear was outside the powerband, but it was enjoyable nonetheless. The car reminds me a lot of a stock NA miata with grippy tires. The driving position was fabulous and the car was very responsive to steering and braking inputs.

It was really nice to meet some of you guys, too! Hopefully I'll have a BRZ by the end of next week. If for any reason it falls through, I'm definitely getting one eventually. I could even settle for a Firestorm or Raven FR-S 6MT with Bespoke, if I can't find another Galaxy Blue BRZ limited in the future!

Sayfailo · 06-09-2012, 03:38 PM

Oh man, that was a fun event -- adrenaline pumping during the drives. The handling was so tight I think I tweaked my back on the second run haha. All the cars are beautiful in person including the two BRZ Limited that were there in the lot while I was there!

NRGBalanced · 06-09-2012, 08:02 PM

Three good-looking cars all in a row! Cessblood would pull up with his own out of frame shortly after.
