Size looks similar.

Then spotted a real one at Chrysler. The pic is terrible but damn it looked fantastic in person



Looked so low and sounded crazy My buddy got to drive it.


Any driving impressions from you buddy? How does it compare in size to your BRZ in person? It suppose to be nearly 4 inches lower than the twins.

And when I used to shift.. as soon as I would push in the clutch it would make some weird OHM noise unless I backed off the throttle before pushing the clutch in.. like "rrrrrrrrrrrrOHM!" But now that's pretty much gone.

Definitely quieter, I want real exhaust now.

This is the best post ever!

4" lower! wow

Looked just a little smaller than the BRZ in most dimensions, but similar. Bigger than a Lotus Elise.

My buddy said it's faster than he thought. No power steering wasn't that bad I guess, the car is so light. He said the cabin is compact, so you have to step over the door frame getting in.



It sounds really raw. Not a smooth sounding turbo 4, but pretty sick. Should be fun spotting these on the road soon.

Buy 2 Brz's for that price, have one for each foot. Use them to rollerskate around the Alpha. Seriously though, I can't say for sure if the Alpha is worth the 70k. Mostly because I don't have 70k to go find out, but if I did, I miiiight have to give it a try. If i could fit in it, I was already pushing it with the BRZ

I'd have to go with a GTR I think, or I don't even know, never had to think about getting a car in that price range, but I can tell you it would not be that car.

Anyone buy LED reverse lights? I'm looking for something brighter than the crap stock bulbs but I'd like recommendations...backing up with tint can be annoying at night.

I'll probably pick some up for cheap and hope for the best. eBay here I come!

I have LED reverse lights and let me tell you, they don't do any better job of lighting up what's behind you than the stock bulbs do. LED's just don't project any light for you to be able to benefit from them. Reverse lights on our cars are more for other people so they can see you're about to back out of a spot, not for you to be able to see things behind you. I know it's pain with tint, because I have dark tint. You just get used to it I guess.
