@Exhaust - Haha, man Guff has got you on blast. You're a cold cone killing FRS driver now.

@Guff - It looks like they used the same layout that they had setup over in Mass too. Anyway, talk about bringing the house down by inviting that many family members to the test drive. I know I couldn't persuade anyone in my family to go, well maybe 1 or 2, but at least they're into the car as mush as you are, that's pretty cool.

BTW, why this thread is in off-topic? Guff, move em to on-topic! lol

So, what is so exciting about the tail light winglets? Do tell.......

And how do you find out about the 'First Drive' events?

I also went to the event on Saturday. We had such a good time and Scion was super hospitable. They had Enkei Wheel, Yokohama S Drive Tires, TRD "Brakes" and the "prototype" TRD Catback Exhaust. I'll post a video later.

The Black car that was on display in these photos was drivable on Saturday. It had some serious knocking coming from the back right. Not too suprising though, the drivers were really putting it to them.

When was this event? I guess I missed it. I was too busy driving around town to get my BRZ reach 1K miles (280 miles and going ).

I'm curious about this as this is one of the main complaints I have of my FR-S is that the Brakes suck, especially at highway speeds. Maybe its mine or maybe your right and they had upgraded TRD pads on these cars.

Anyone know if we can find out if they used the stock pads/rotors/fluids?

Also, Does anyone else agree with me on the stock brakes?
