frs canyon testing...
 

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46Lc-2KGJTA"]scion FRS canyon t[/ame]Scion (saw this on youtube not my FRS,looks like fun) FRS testing run, vehicle is bone stock along with its tire. The car has not yet breaking so RPM was kept under 5k. we simply want to show how the car was able to handle the road without drama. VSC was on sport, traction was on as well thats why there were blinking yellow lights. during middle of the run there was a 996 turbo with full suspension mods and power upgrade. also a Civic EK. hope you all enjoy this. more stuffs will be add onto the setup and upgrade for the FRS. stay tune

Nothing to suggest this is a closed course. The law is clearly broken and the safety of other vehicles that may be on that same stretch of road compromised. This is not interesting, informative or impressive.

Thread should be deleted.

:popcorn:

:bellyroll:calm down nobody its suggesting to go do this,its like playing gta or watching violence movies just because someone else do it that does not mean you have to go out and do it but i do agree its not right but this video its to kinda "show" how the frs handles in the canyons nothing else so chill my friend.

Wrong comparison. GTA and violent movies take place in fake realities. Your ridiculous video does not. You are a danger to yourself and those around you.

Tell these people to "calm down"

You clearly have a disregard for the safety of others. California has a copious number of race tracks for you to go play on, stop putting other people in danger.

As far as a video to "show" how the FRS handles, it's really very very poor video and does nothing to illustrate anything about the quality of the car, only the lack of quality of the person in it.

Basically this video is a pathetic display of your disregard for the law and the safety of others and denigrates the quality of the community as a whole.

Buy a goPro and go out to ButtonWillow, Infineon, Laguna etc etc etc and then post video. The response will be very different.

:party0030: yeaahh buddy

Oh God, call the forum police. :sigh:

gonna agree with rc

to end this discussion that not my video and thats not me,but believe me this wont be the first or the last vid you will see like this,i mean even the scion commercial shows drifting in a canyon,yes i know they close the road to shoot the video but alotta people will try this just because they saw the scion commercial,not all people live in a perfect world like yours.cheers

But the commercial has a disclaimer saying how the driving is done by professionals. They also stayed in the proper lane during the drift.

yes of course i understand,im not saying scion did something wrong im just trying to respond to the situation about danger and breaking the law i mean its not even my video but like i said it wont be the first or the last wrong thing people do with an frs (trying to live in a perfect world wake up)sometimes to have some fun you have to break the law,again im not saying its right to do it ,a mature consious man will see this low quality vid ignore it and pass on thats it .

thats what i was think lol.:sigh:

It's a video that OP found on YouTube, quit harassing him for posting it. No need to preach to him about safe driving if he's not the one driving recklessly.

You guys are more than welcome to complain about the person who made the video, though...

TBF he did seem to be endorsing it.

@whoever made the video, driving in the left hand lane and passing around a blind corner are pretty much the douchiest way to drive possible. I just hope you lose your license before killing someone innocent.

i wasnt but even if i was endorsing this vid,dont you guys have never done anything dangerous and stupid driving? Scion claims the frs is to have fun driving im not saying cutting lanes and putting other people in danger is fun,but i bet alotta people will try canyon fun once they break in the engine,i understand this a very very mature forum and i respect and like that but this vid shows that first of many stupid idiotic people going crazy with the frs theres already a frs with the front bumper destroy why ??maybe because he was trying to have dangerous fun...#justsaying P.D i was just trying to particiate in this forum

That's what stood out to me the most. Spirited driving is one thing but this is not "spirited driving", this is at the limit while using the WHOLE road, at night, through blind corners. This is close to playing Russian Roulette, but unlike that, this involves putting innocent people at risk.

By having people condemn this behavior that also endangers innocent people on public roads instead of feeding the stupidity it can help in show that it's not cool and most folks would rather see such a person in jail.

You can afford a $25k car, you can afford track time.

As for the "internet police" comment. I agree, please call the internet police and delete this thread and any like it.

really??????????????????????? :sigh::eyebulge:

People assumed it was your video since you provided information that only someone that was there would know, I see that it's the description in the video now that I went directly to the video, but yeah you should mentioned it was the video's description and not your words.

i did mention it was not my video neither my frs

I hear the pitter patter of insurance adjuster's calculators making my insurance rate higher.

Wow true, I somehow read over that the first time... dunno how :iono:

But yeah, people also took it as you condoning the behavior since you defended it a bit with the comparison, not that it's a bad thing, just saying that's why people attacked you :(

yea i felt dumb and inmature for a bit,but i wasnt defending the person drving in this vid and i did make comparison because rice classic got way too explosive saying its sooooi wrong i mean theres alotta wrongggg things going on in this world but thats how it is right? then why not take this vid as it is dangerous driving yes but its about the frs thats why i posted.

Great video thanks for posting, is that a stock exhaust setup? Keep the good work :D

mad bros? the way i see it is let the people who are going to be reckless be reckless as there is nothing we can do to stop them. and let the people who choose the safe way to be safe as there is nothing we can do to stop them. we are all enjoying our cars differently. obviously i dont believe it is safe but there is little to nothing we can do as unfortunate as that sounds. let us all just get behind the wheel and drive. think of all the foolish muscle cars dragging on the main roads. we cant stop them either....

Maybe they had a spotter for people coming the other way? I doubt it though...

There's a canyon outside of Phoenix that is the funnest road I have ever driven (4 times). The roads are pretty wide and the speed limits are high so you don't even have to break the law to have fun. I saw trucks taking hairpin turns there at over 70mph and I was like "WTF?"

drivers can choose to be safe or reckless, but victims cannot. the general public along with enthusiasts should not condone such reckless driving. obviously it's been done, and people are still out there on these roads doing it every night, but it should be noted that it's not okay to drive in such a manner on public roads. it's only a matter of time til these guys drive off the side of a mountain or plow head on into an oncoming car.

That is true. The victims are not at fault. And it is unfortunate thatthe people who do drive reckless dont care. But i mean no one ever listens till its too late

Come to think of it. Now that i watched the vid. It did upset me that he passed his buddy. Im all about canyon runs but passing and blowing the double yellows are a definite nono. If you absolutely have to go irresponsible and drive like that at least be as safe as you can about it. That was a bit much

Great road! I'd love to drive on that road. Initial d style yo!

I know the Driver and so does Moto-san. We both saw him post it and said our piece. He knows what he did. I don't know him well enough to know if he knew was he was doing (in terms of skill). I just know him through another forum / club.

I told him it was dangerous for other people, as well as, himself. It would be a shame if he or his frs was hurt/damaged... as well as, innocent bystanders.

I literally saw a 16-17 year old kid leave with a friend to race up/down a canyon by my house. Only, he never made it back up. I was telling him it wasn't a good idea when he was leaving... but hindsight is 20/20. I've had my stupid moments and been lucky. No more. Saving up for track time.

Same could be said if you were to drive 1 mph over the speed limit anywhere. Will that stop you/me/anyone? No.

Nice straw man argument.:clap:

With this logic you are leaving out the whole fact that it's a "public" road. If you didn't know, people die because some choose to drive reckless and take lives

It's like saying let drunk drivers video tape themselves because there's nothing we can do to stop them. Don't get mad at them tho, it's there choice after all
