Looks great. They've definitely been creepin on the forum. Room for racing tires and jack? That's almost a quote..

He mentioned canyons way too many times.

The canyons are already busy so hopefully this won't give the impression to future FR-S owners that they have to carve the canyon with this car.

The paddle shifters on the automatic caught my attention. That means this thing wants to compete with the 370Z!

Franisco · 04-21-2011, 04:58 PM

Im a little worried about that ^ There's quite a bit of carbon fiber, the brakes, the active aero.. It seems like its gaining cost quickly. I'd assume the base isn't going to have that stuff, but typically those types of options are not on a $20k car

superpa · 04-21-2011, 07:06 PM

Checkout those brakes, the disk is attached to the wheel and the caliper is bolted to the inside ???

I hope they take lessons from Lexus with the paddle placements. We're talking like full paddles not the half ones on the Genesis. and place the paddles in a good place too. I liked 370z 's paddles honestly, but you gotta admit the welded aluminum ones on the lfa is SEX

If they really read the forums, Scion/Toyota put a LSD stock on the car. Thank you. Carry on.

Then I second the motion on changing the domain name, is FR-Sclub.com taken? I check nothing yet. and actually we are the largest FT-86/FR-S/216A forum, we get more traffic here than others.
