So if $22K for FRS, I am in.

:thumbup:

$22k would be a dream. I think Hollis & Co. are doing everything they can to make this car as attainable as possible and for a very good bargain as best they can. probably the reason why you don't see fogs on the U.S. spec eight-sixes.

There is more.

BRZ lat g target is 1g. Btw, Subie considers competitive set Mini Cooper S, Hyundai Genesis Coupe, MX-5, GTI, Civic Si, and Scion FR-S. #BRZ

Top speed limited by 7450rpm fuel cut. In 6th gear, that is about 220kmh or about 136mph. Seems low but #checkmymath #BRZ

BRZ Cd is 0.27 thanks to diffusers, double bubble roof channel, and rear deck lid spoiler (which smoothes airflow, doesn't add dforce. #BRZ

Subaru claims BRZ polar moment of inertia lower than Cayman, RX-8, BMW M3. Don't know about that, but it felt great. #carnerd #BRZ #physics

Very astute observation. It's amazing how much money a $5 fog lamp costs over a full production run.

$27K? Not bad for a premium version, I might opt for that.

More BRZ/FR-S/GT86 trivia: Subaru sez 86x86 mm bore/struck is merely coincidence and not Toyota order. Roughy. #BRZ #FR-S #GT86 #AE86

agreed! don't really need those fog lights. Those empty openings are perfect to setup brake cooling ducts. :)

i dont understand the naming sequence between limited and premium. if limited is 3k more, what makes it 'limited' and if premium is 3k less, why is it so 'premium'

that doesnt make sense to me. but 24k for the mid level FRS/BRZ sounds good
