Check out this drive I did with the BRZ...
 

From Denver to Napa Valley. Had a blast, what a great drivers car this is, especially with a supercharger...

Very very cool.

Their site doesn't list cost (assuming "if you have to ask you can't afford it" sort of deal) but would you mind sharing how much it was? Their site doesn't offer much insight into that either.

Looks like an incredible trip, though. Maybe I'm getting old but I'm more drawn to stuff like this than I ever used to be.

The week long trip was $9,450 and included everything (hotel, food, drink, activities, track day, etc) except gas and whatever you wanted to personally spend. Also you were responsible to get there with your car although they helped with everything.

The shorter trip this fall is $4,450 which is the same as above. Includes everything but gas and transport. Good thing is that its starting in NYC so only one way of transport.

I was watching You Tube videos of this looked epic!
Saw that Alex Roy was there with a 911 too.

Yeah it was so nice for once to just drive and enjoy the roads without having to run from the cops, party till 4 am, etc. I guess we have all grown up :)

@Parikh1234 Thank you for sharing. Is there any links where I can get more information? I am looking for routes/maps so I can try to plan my own trip.

You can go to www.adventuredrives.com theres some info there.

These pictures are particularly my favorite:

How did the supercharged BRZ hold up through the trip?

It was ok, problem was it was tuned for 93, so the 91 gas out there was bogging down the car. On top of that, the elevation for the trip was between sea level and 12,000 ft. If I didnt have the car supercharged, it would have been useless. Its really shows how the car should have come from the factory.

The car has the Jackson racing kit with headers.

I have a full amuse exhaust, JR high boost pulley and e85 kit ready for the fall drive. Hopefully we should be able to get the car to 350ish whp on e85. The car currently does 290 on 93, and the old 997.2 gt3 ate it for lunch. Probably about 6 to 7 car lengths at altitude on 91. Might have been 3-4 lengths at sea level with 93.

Only issue might be with the High boost pulley, no way it can work with 91, so we might have to come up with different tunes based on where in the country I am driving.

Awesome pictures. Congrats

Looks great.

how your car fitted into the group of cars "mentally"? Was other drivers on the same note or did they look at the car thru their fingers? And did any strangers/spectators said anything? My idea is that the BRZ is so rare on roads that maybe people outside the carworld didn't notice how different class it is.

Again nice trip, thumbs up

p.s.: carreras are notoriously known for great 0-60 numbers; weight on back + rear tire size of a barrel; and the same for braking figures. Don't worry about that :)

Great looking drive, with great people.
Did something similar a few years ago with Rally North America.
They do one every year and raise money for a different charity every year.
Another great option for getting your car out on the road.

We are all friends and good people. Adventure Drives screens the participants to make sure its not about who brings what car. We are all cap people and at the end of the day the company was started for drivers, not the "look at me crowd" you see on rally type products like Gumball. This isnt a rally, its a high end driving tour company.

A lot of people were curious about the BRZ, especially with the mods and such.

Awesome! Thanks!

Thanks!

Beautiful cars and scenery! Looks like a blast. That helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon must have been amazing.

Saw this picture and was struck by how low the reservoir had fallen:

I was going to say, watching the video it was cool that the BRZ didn't look out of place in that group at all. Fits right in. Looks a lot faster than it is :P

Those wheels are gorgeous. Were they hard to track down?

Looks like a great event, and beautiful pics / video!

Thanks! The car actually is pretty quick under the right conditions.

The wheels were very difficult to find. They are the enkei rc-t4. But I actually found a place right in my back yard that can get them pretty painlessly (minus the long waits):

I was thinking I might buy an extra wheel or two incase these get damaged. Hope that helps!

Yeah the helicopter pilot was telling us how in a couple of years its going to be a major issue as Vegas continues to draw more and more power.

Haha, yeah the BRZ is a very quick car for what it is and definitely punches well above its weight, but that was some fast company you were in :D. Not that it matters on a relaxed cruise. I just think it's great how these cars really look the part.

How do you like your supercharger setup? The car has to feel pretty genuinely quick given that you're around 10lbs/hp, and I assume your new tuner fixed your idle issues.

Shame about the long wait for the wheels, but #worth. Those things look glorious and are pretty light as well. I wish more companies made nice, simple, clean-looking wheels like that. I'm running 17x7.5 OZ Alleggeritas right now, which are some of the lightest wheels I could find, and while they're awesome from a performance standpoint I'm still not wild about the looks. These things look delicious and are only 1-2 lbs heavier... Maybe when my stock brakes get tired I'll get a set of these Enkei's and offset some of the weight gain with a lightweight brake kit :P

Thanks! The car is pretty light, especially after replacing the wheels and eventually going the full amuse TI setup. The wheels def helped but the BBK and the oil cooler and such probably offset that a bit. I should get it on a scale one of these days. When it gets done with the e85 and high boost kit, it should be very close power / weight of the gt3. We will see how far they are apart from there once the winter goes away.

I am doing another drive at the end of October with Adventure Drives from New York to Nashville.

must be amazing for this road trip, car looking great man!

This was awesome man...can't believe you guys got Valentine Balboa to come out!
