My 1st Drifting Exp in the FRS:
http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16895

After test drive in Long Beach, CA for 1st 86 Promo kinda forgot exactly how it felt.

Def was surprised how low you sit, steering very quick/precise, firm ride, but not overly if you are used to sporty cars. I am coming from a run of Subaru WRX/STi's and 135i/ 335Xi BMW's. Floors me how low the roof line is standing next to it! Car feels great for N/A 2.0L . This is my 1st N/A car in many years, I will appreciate the good Mpg from what I am used to. Insurance is just over $200 less than my 11' STi too !!!! Brakes feel great, shifts very smooth , I am really enjoying it so far!!

I LOVE THE SEATS!! They are soo superior than any of the STi seats, actually hold you. I was always soo jealous of my friends Evo seats, those Recaro's I always wanted in my Subaru's and these seats aren't quite like those, but pretty close!

I am near 180mi on it, enjoying ea mile and just feels GOOD! Stereo sounds pretty good for stock, I do miss not hearing any exhaust note, just intake growl. I have shift light set for 4k and been doing it as suggested to keep it under, seems like it just begins to start pulling and at 4k, what a tease! I plan to keep up driving most I can and Autocross next weekend!! Def Very Excited to see how it does, to learn its limits through the course!

I will GoPro some runs to share!

This is a fun car for sure, Turbo cars are addictive and I do miss rush of TQ, but this is just different enjoyment! I took a fun drive through some nice windy corners and def doesn't sway anything near my Subaru's did, feels very solid / planted!

Nice. Looks great and makes me want my car. Any modding plans?

Awwww I want a jacket, so jealous...

Nice! Ogio makes some good stuff too, I have one of their aero backpacks for my motorcycle.

Definitely agree with you on your thoughts vs. the STI. The seats in the FR-S are better and the FR-S rolls/sways much less. Like you, I do worry I'll miss the midrange torque of my prior turbo cars, it's probably the only thing holding me back at the moment. I'd be curious to hear how you like the FR-S as time goes on.

BTW, the car looks fantastic in white!

Congrats bro. Very happy for you.

Also looking to hear your impressions in the days/weeks to come. I can't wait til you hit the 1k/mi break in :respekt:

congrats on the new car. since you've had some first hand experience with both the 335i and FRS how would you compare them driving-wise? I am coming from a 335i and am very curious as to how they compare.

Ugh, let's not talk about losing low-end grunt. I'll be cutting my HP and TQ in half going from the S4 to this... But losing 1,000lbs as well :thumbup:

Congrats! I like the backpack. I like how the local news even showed up.

skeettastic!!!

that frs on sti whiteout headshot is worthy of some jealousy, congrats man! :D

Congrats!

Please, more pics with The STi when you have a moment!!

Me too... I think we all should get the jacket, backpack & etc with our purchase. Even if we are not the First 86!
