Hello fellow BRZ/FRS/GT86 enthusiast. Im glad to be here as a member of this such a great community. I own now my second BRZ, and just started to customize a little bit "The Grey" and would like to share with you'll how happy I am with my fantastic little car. As many of you, I completely love my car as the perfect (or almost perfect) driver's car, but I also miss just a little of torque, and a few horses. I will keep on playing with mine with everything I can do without going force inducted, until they finally release a STi version.

I am based in DFW, so I would like to ask you folks if is there any club here in North Texas?

Best

Future BRZ/FRS owner here! Test drove both today and will be getting the 2014 model of which ever one I end up choosing. Should be getting it right after the New Year.

Based off first impressions I seem to be leaning towards the BRZ, couldn't quite but a finger on why--really just a gut feeling right now.

Any must-read threads you guys can point me in the direction of as I try to learn more?

Thanks!

The main difference between the two is side badging, front bumper, and suspension. And I geuss with BRZyou have three levels of pricing which three different standard options.

I drove the 2013 Limited BRZ....definitely think I fell in love. I'm trying to keep an open-mind though.

Yes, I did drive the FRS today as well. I actually went right from the Scion dealer to the Subaru one to drive the BRZ. While both were AWESOME, the BRZ just felt right to me.

Hello all. I posted in Southeast regional forum already. Figured I'd post here too. Got my Sterling Silver BRZ last week.

Having the night to sleep on it really finalized my decision.

I'm really a beginner when it comes to cars, and am really looking to dive into this. Starting with small mods and once I get the hang of things and more familiar with the car, move on to larger ones.

Any particular threads you guys recommend to kind of help someone catch up and learn more about the intricacies of the BRZ?

Hi everyone, just joined the forums as I am placing my order tomorrow for a WRB BRZ. I cannot wait to get into this community. I already have a long list of mods to start! Oh and I'm based in Brisbane Australia
