Does the frs/brz still turn heads when driving - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

It does turn heads, I have my share fair of funny stories and nice interactions with people but I'm pretty sure we can all agree there is nothing better than seeing other 86 owners on the road

Most of them are really enthusiastic and cool and will give a thumbs up, flash of their lights, a rev, or occasionally try to give you a high five at stop lights

A highschool kid on a bike gave me a big thumbs up and pointed at my car while 'saying' "I LOVE YOUR CAR", totally read his lips.

A fellow in his late 40s/early 50s was crossing the crosswalk in front of me and told me he was going to get "one of those"

After 15 months i still put a cover over it , to avoid attention.

Yup, rubber necks a lot of people ha. And if I have my windows down at like a stop light I will get the occasional "cool car!" or random person wanting to talk about it when I get out of it.

Even more so after I plasti dipped my wheels red and installed my exhaust.

My stock 10 Series still gets stares, last month while stuck in traffic near Times Square a pedestrian took a picture of it (weird).

This weekend I was driving around a small town car show trying to find a place to park to take a quick look at all the cars. When I came to the barricade at the end of the street where the cars were parked the guy opened it up and waved me in.
Parked the car, registered and opened the hood. Didn't expect a lot of interest as there were over 100 VERY nice cars there.
BOY WAS I WRONG! After about two hours had no voice left as I talked to so many people. Was fun watching some of them try to figure out what it was!
Best was the guy that went on to his buddies about how it was the "new Porsche Scorpion model (Scion is apparently now German for scorpion according to him)" and it puts out 600 horse and cost $140,000! He went on like that for 5 minutes even though the hood was open and it clearly says Toyota/Subaru right on the intake cover!
So ...ya it still turns heads especially in areas where it is still relatively rare (I have only seen two others on the road in the month I have had it)

He was trying to pass you, bro!

Mine still gets a good bit of attention. The new guy at Starbucks raves about it every.single.time I go through the drive through and thought it was as expensive as a Corvette that went through ahead of me the other day.

Dude, you are driving in the wrong places then!
Get women of all ages yell "nice car" at me all the time. Mind you they usually follow that up with "I looooove the colour" which means it could be a 10 year old minivan for all they care as long as it is a pretty colour.
