They would have to go a lot faster to hear that.

No chirps, just the beautiful rumble of a TRD Exhaust!!!

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

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

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

).

1 minute 30 seconds? Our course in NJ was like 30 secs

And even after a group of 15-20 people flogged them around in a row, there was no brake fade felt in my second run...

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?
