Hopefully the stupid drivers learn something. I'm going to steal that pic for a sig.

You think these FR-S'/BRZ are rebuilt or just junked?

Cuz if they are junked.... I can build me a few cars from all these spare parts!

You're doing it wrong if you can't get the back end out on dry asphalt :P

The ones with bashed in front ends are probably getting junked.(need to find out where >.>

A lot of them seem to be more cosmetic than a complete total.

That article says the guy had 30+ years of experience driving and the FR-S was at least his 4th RWD car. It's not all about inexperienced drivers with these things. Plus all the other wreck threads seem inconsistant with the ages. It's another factor for these.

That's what I'm saying, it has to be something with the dynamics of the car, unless they're hiding some other details about the incident. I knew, KNEW someone would quote sales numbers to back up why there haven't been any BRZ crashes. Gimme a break guys, there's been several reports for the FR-S, I have yet to see a BRZ crash. Prove me wrong, that's fine! I'm not trying to stir up anything bad, I really think there might be something of concern with the way the car handles. It could be ever-so-slight, or it could be another factor. I guess who knows.

Nah, but there is a pretty nice grinding noise from the axle dragging the ground, makes it sound extra BA. Also the sparks make it look like you've got fire coming out of your exhuast.

i CAN but would rather not stay in UBER high rpmland to maintain one, AND NOT end up like these folks trying to be the next Ken Gushi, tanner Foust and Ken block on public streets. XP

"Ridge Racer style! VSC off, enter corner at high speeds, no brake, turn wheel as fast as possible, perfect drift every time!"

Reality: Massive understeer, hit tree.
