Deliveries are not until mid summer for either model here in Canada, but both were available from the get go.

I remembered when I first bought my frs then told my friends about it, and they shitted on me saying I should've got the brz instead because it was faster. I told them they're the same shit and next thing you know, they pulled out their phone, go on youtube and watched a frs vs brz video to see who finishes first so they can determine which car is better... I was just laughing my ass off at their dumba**es lol

The FRS must be faster because we are 8.6 ounces lighter due to not having the trunk lid liner!

Nope. The fancier fender garnish resistance cancels out the mustache.


Now mind you the Scion emblems weigh 1/4 ounce more each so the FRS loses a bit of it's advantage there.

If you factor in the standard Canadian splash guards then it's no contest, FRS will never keep up.

That is why the FRS front is more aero (yo) to force the air around the guards. If you lower it it is better too since they aren't as high and create so much drag.
