Convince them to sell you the Scion Racing FR-S Race Car.

it be more interesting if they tell us how they did it? New engine? turbo? what? Then we know how to build ours from the ground up!!
more so then the turbo and engine swap like more info on the swap

the front bumper is to die for. they'd be missing out on a huge sales opprotunity by not offering a replica of the drift car front end.

i know GReddy said they'd be upgrading the stock FA20 motor for a race application. i'm almost positive without being a GReddy employee that they will eventually offer whatever upgrades sold as a kit to consumers. imagine that!!!

I'm willing to bet that's where the rad support is, the hood needs to latch on to something to it to hold it down.

I want my FR-S infotainment to be setup much like a phone in that you have options to log into certain accounts (Facebook, Twitter, Google..e.tc). Because I can see myself syncing with my Gmail, Gmail Calendar and Google+ for appointments, dates, notifications...etc. But Facebook...don't see me trying to socialize while driving. And I don't have Twitter. If it's just forced to only have FB and Twitter, it would be a waste of space for me.

He was mistaken. It weighs 300lbs less than a stock FR-S.

It will probably be configurable like your smart phone. Might depend on what phone you have.

Hope so. I'm an Android user. If it's not, I'll just go standard radio, and build me a car pc with Windows or Android OS on it.

so pretty much we our forced to buy a expensive shell and do a engine swap+turbo kit? D:

Why would you think that? Hope it isn't because of GReddy....it's call time to development. They don't have time to do the development before Formula D season starts. It makes perfect sense to do your R&D on the stock motor and still run the drift car for the season with the alt. power plant.
