Today I was lucky enough to test drive the Scion FR-S in Baltimore! Scion had set up a small autocross track in one of the parking lots for Ravens Stadium. Scion had a total of 5 cars at the event and 3 of them were available for the test drive. The interior of the car was nicer than I expected. The fit and finish of everything was very nice. Now Ill get to my driving impressions. Unfortunately this car was an automatic :thumbdown: but the paddle shifters seemed pretty good on the track. The handling of this car made it a blast to drive on a super tight track! The car was very tight and remained flat through the corners. I felt like I was driving the car into the turns as hard as I could and wasn't loosing any grip. We were told that these cars had the TRD Lowering Springs, the TRD Exhaust and Enkei Wheels with Yokohama tires. Im not sure how much the springs and tires were contributing to the handling characteristics of this car cause I have not driven one that was stock. The TRD exhaust had a great tone to it and wasn't super loud. Im not usually a fan of factory performance exhausts but this was one of the better ones I've heard. The power of the car was perfect for an autocross course and felt very peppy. Overall I would say Im very impressed with this car and would like to drive this again! :burnrubber:

looks to be the same cars from the sc first test drive event. I loved those cars!!!! Congrats on the test drive, I must get back in one asap :)

One question: who is "pound 9" and why does he suck?

Thanks for posting.

I'm digging the PF01s more than the RPF1s on this car.

Hahahah took me awhile to figure out what you were talking about. I'm not quite sure what #9 did but must of been pretty bad

Yea I got to drive the FRS today as well and man did it handle well. The springs might have something to do with it but it was way better than what I expected.

Need to see the front of Whiteout FR-S. The graphic reminds me of Panda paint AE86.

Oh man! I live in Elkridge. If I had know they would were there I wouldn't have spend the day shopping for wedding venues. Looks like a lot of fun and It's good to hear the tinkering hasnt compromised the original vision of the car.:thumbsup:

This is the only front shot I had of the Whiteout
