Maybe I worded that wrong, not so much twitchy. Just does't drive perfectly straight, likes to move around. not worried about it though.

It shouldn't move around a lot on most roads.

I'd still check the tire pressure (hey, it can't hurt) and ask the dealer if they would do a free alignment check (and that wouldn't hurt).....

Congrats on getting a monogram! The car handles amazing for a stock vehicle.

Hello,

I traded my s2000 in a few months ago for an FRS. I've done a few things since then and the wheels are coming off for something better soon. I look forward to learning more here.

Hi Mr.Brandon ...... and welcome to the "slow car" channel.......

So, your BRZ is slow ..... maybe you should have gotten a FR-S ..

Hmmm......I haven't noticed my FR-S being slow......what is slow is all the traffic in front of me.

Besides, why race the guy beside me ..... I doubt we are going to the same place.....

Where I like to drive "spiritedly" ..... on the twisties and up in the mountains ..... about the only folks I hold back are the sport bike riders ....

I suggest you put some decent tires on that puppy and learn how to drive it real good ...... then just stay away from the 5.0 Mustangs and a few others.

Of course you could turbo that pup and stay ahead of 98% of the vehicles on the road.

Hey. Crew,new here. Will be picking up my frs this upcoming Tuesday and can't wait sold my 07 civic si sedan which I had slammed with a bunch of oem mugen parts. Also have a 99 civic si which is fully built and turbo'd making 473whp. Obviously a huge honda fan but grew up in a Toyota shop so it's nice to finally get my hands on a yota!

Hey guys, just got a Scion FR-S 10 Series, love this thing. Hope to see some of you guys in south Texas pretty soon! I can't decide if I should leave the car stock or do mods to it though. Either way, coming from a 2009 Saturn Vue, this car just blows me away every time I get in it. See yall around!

My $0.02, since everyone has that lying around to give away, is leave it stock while it is still new to you (since you are undecided), ultimately do what YOU want to do. You will learn pretty quick what you like and don't like. However, once the mod bug takes hold, it is difficult to stop (that isn't necessarily a bad thing if you like getting under the hood). Welcome to the club!

Congrats on getting the 10 series! Do a little research to see if you want to mod or leave it stock but what Turkish said once you start modding your car its going to be difficult to stop. Welcome to the forum!
