I mean, take the kit away and you have a yellow monogram series.

Bingo How'd you guess?

All said and done, it's probaby closer to 50lbs considering that the limited BRZ is something like 24 lbs heavier with no body kit.

Don't know what you are talking about here, truthfully. Sorry. I said I would rather them go this rout, but I know there really isn't a plan as of yet.

And yet toyota insists on adding weight without the power increase. I'm fine with more weight if it's (a)fuctional weight, or (b) negated by an increase in power.

But here's a question for you. What did you think of the FR-S project car that this one is based off of?



is that one RICE too?

We still talking about the car with expensive "pretty parts" added on that got it's ass handed to it by a miata that spent it's money on performance instead of aero? Toyota Racing Developement for the FRS is a joke. I'm hoping it changes, but I'm not holding my breath. Thankfully the aftermarket has jumped in where toyota failed. I see the twins turning a lot of heads in the racing world in the next couple years, and it won't be because of Toyota or Subaru.

If the OP wants to update, let him update. Plenty of people do this, If I'm not wrong, this is how vehicle leasing came about, to better expedite the process.

I LOVE my car! I really do. Coming from 500rwhp BEASTS and an M3, I'm stoked that this car has not only held my attention, but has caused me to fall in love again with something simple and balanced.

I posted my origional post because he's not updating, or upgrading. He's buying the same car with a different color and a body kit. It's called "marketing"….Something I've studied a lot recently. That's all these special editions are. The only one, as someone has already mentioned, woth buying is going to be the 10 series.
