Enlighten me!

Hey guys! Got my 2014 Subaru BRZ exactly a month ago and I'm loving it!

I wanted to ask you guys to just tell me any cool details (mechanical, cosmetic, safety blah blah blah) or any cool stories you have had with the car (and what you have modded) include pics!

I'm so happy I got this car, and I am extremely happy to join the 86/BRZ community 😎

I was happy to find out I could make both doors unlock with proximity by holding buttons on the key fob. Tried it on my Mom's toyota Rav4 and she was fanatic

The little things.

Yeah, slow. I understand the importance of investing in driver skill but that has nothing to do with the car.

I wolf recommend just keeping it stock until you know what it is you don't like about the car.

That's your opinion & can't debate on that lol

I read few days back on Club4AG boss Moto quoted this:
"what do you mean you can't go fast with 200hp? Please retract that statement until you sit next to me at Streets of Willow as I dive into the chicane at 102mph on race tires, and pull 1.2G's with 6 inch of road left as I slide towards it. LOL"

If his AT 86 can do it, there's an issue somewhere else

i see him at just about every event i go to including streets and no doubt, that guy is definitely fast and so are track tires. i just dont think that equates to the car being fast. put him in another car on race rubber and im not sure it matters what car it is. that being said, i dont believe there is a direct correlation between fast and fun.
