What purpose or role will the FR-S / BRZ serve you? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Assume you get this car once it's out. What purpose will it serve to you?

This will be my primary daily driver. But if I win the lottery, along with some other cars, I'd get a couple: one for daily driving, one for show/tuning, maybe a 3rd as a garage queen like this guy.

Woah 48 Kilometers is all?!

dude If I had the money to do this with an FR-S I'd Buy two!

But to answer the poll Mine would be a daily driver, this car is looking like too much fun

If it's good enough, I'll trade my STI for it. It would be used for every day driving once or twice a week, and auto-x/track days.

We'll see..

We had a nice discussion on this already in this thread: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=158

Yeah... but I added 3 additional options that make this poll a bit different. I'm specifically interested in seeing who will use this as dual purpose (track/daily driver) and who will take it to show and share their lavish plans on it.

Neutral_Eyes · 08-18-2011, 02:26 PM

Other - weekend car. It might be tracked a few times a year, but never daily driven.

Dave-ROR · 08-18-2011, 02:37 PM

Daily driver mostly, occasional track use. Already have a race car and an occasional track car though so it's competing for limited time/money at the track..

Same. The next car I buy will be a replacement for my Tundra as my DD. Already have a track and strip car.

Like Dave-ROR...I voted dual purpose (track/daily) again (is this the second or third poll of similar nature?). But, I doubt I'll take this on the track more than once a year since I have an assortment of dedicated track cars at my disposal currently.

Yes it is. But don't forget the OP included a few more options so we can all discuss this topic all over again!!! Yiippppie!

Allch Chcar · 08-18-2011, 03:07 PM

yay.

First purpose DD, errand running. Second, Mobile Response Vehicle.

Levi · 08-18-2011, 04:10 PM

I voted for Dedicated Track Monster. My daily driver is an Alfa Romeo 147. Of course at the beginning I will use the FT-86 only on week-ends, and may end up driving it every day, but this only until the track performance parts come out. However even as a trackcar only, I want to leave it street legal for Midnight Races.

aeronerd · 08-18-2011, 04:20 PM

I voted DD and Track, but I will be just dabbling in auto-x. So it will mostly be a daily.

Slide · 08-18-2011, 04:28 PM

This will be my dual car.

Be more daily driven then track, and if yhis car is a cheap as they say I might get a 2nd one for track are year or two down the track.
