I was there for the VIP slot 9-10. There were only 6 people so we went round after round. Was great it wasn't busy. I work all day today otherwise I would have chilled out to meet all the peeps.

I now know I want the trd exhaust. Nice and throaty and not ricey. Trd suspension was nice but I'll stick with my pro lines for now. Damn that was very fun. I sure as hell took out a bunch of cones but they also said the track was not set up for drifting but I sure as hell did plenty of it. Woohoo was at redline way more than I would have been in mine.

Had fun, no way I would take an auto over a stick, you can NOT get it into gear as it decided I was going to fast to shift down. meh.

The TRD exhaust is nice, but I suspect it will be very expensive.clearly designed by subaru for toyota. sounded very well matched to the boxxer motor!

That said, you can probably select a great full exhaust from a subie specialty shop who can design as good sounding a solution for less. I will say that my Perrin, when I came home, I went straight to the garage and took it out for a spin- sounded very throaty too, if anything a bit louder at the top end, where the TRD was, well factory mod sounding.

The TRD springs I will pass on, very drift feeling, induced too much understeer, too stiff a rear end spring rate. Unless you wanna drift. You kinda had to muscle the car to get the nose to turn. maybe springs, maybe 18s maybe a combo of that and the inability to use the gearing clutch to transfer weight..

so I also am sure i do not like this car on 18s.

I too wiped out a bunch of cones, both times at the very end I was just too hot for tha tight right, and didnt feel the brakes bit enough,and that understeer is NOT there on the stock feel of my BRZ.

I need to order brake pads for my car today...OE when pushed feels like crap.

Btw what I did to those cars today, i would NEVER drive mine at redline like that, so it was lots of fun

Wifey drove like champ, and didnt hit any cones!

Ya GOTTA have the dual climate and I was sad for all the FRS owners who do not get adjustable HIDs

its the coolest thing on BRZ there is a dial that lets the drive choose how far from the car the beams focus it, ie far for hwy and close for like auto-x at night

FRS owners are missing out thats a neat lil feature
