Check out this drive I did with the BRZ...

[nisti]

Great looking drive, with great people.
Did something similar a few years ago with Rally North America.
They do one every year and raise money for a different charity every year.
Another great option for getting your car out on the road.

Again nice trip, thumbs up

p.s.: carreras are notoriously known for great 0-60 numbers; weight on back + rear tire size of a barrel; and the same for braking figures. Don't worry about that

We are all friends and good people. Adventure Drives screens the participants to make sure its not about who brings what car. We are all cap people and at the end of the day the company was started for drivers, not the "look at me crowd" you see on rally type products like Gumball. This isnt a rally, its a high end driving tour company.

A lot of people were curious about the BRZ, especially with the mods and such.

Beautiful cars and scenery! Looks like a blast. That helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon must have been amazing.

Saw this picture and was struck by how low the reservoir had fallen:

I was going to say, watching the video it was cool that the BRZ didn't look out of place in that group at all. Fits right in. Looks a lot faster than it is :P

Looks like a great event, and beautiful pics / video!

Thanks! The car actually is pretty quick under the right conditions.

The wheels were very difficult to find. They are the enkei rc-t4. But I actually found a place right in my back yard that can get them pretty painlessly (minus the long waits):

I was thinking I might buy an extra wheel or two incase these get damaged. Hope that helps!

Yeah the helicopter pilot was telling us how in a couple of years its going to be a major issue as Vegas continues to draw more and more power.

Haha, yeah the BRZ is a very quick car for what it is and definitely punches well above its weight, but that was some fast company you were in . Not that it matters on a relaxed cruise. I just think it's great how these cars really look the part.

How do you like your supercharger setup? The car has to feel pretty genuinely quick given that you're around 10lbs/hp, and I assume your new tuner fixed your idle issues.

Shame about the long wait for the wheels, but #worth. Those things look glorious and are pretty light as well. I wish more companies made nice, simple, clean-looking wheels like that. I'm running 17x7.5 OZ Alleggeritas right now, which are some of the lightest wheels I could find, and while they're awesome from a performance standpoint I'm still not wild about the looks. These things look delicious and are only 1-2 lbs heavier... Maybe when my stock brakes get tired I'll get a set of these Enkei's and offset some of the weight gain with a lightweight brake kit :P

Thanks! The car is pretty light, especially after replacing the wheels and eventually going the full amuse TI setup. The wheels def helped but the BBK and the oil cooler and such probably offset that a bit. I should get it on a scale one of these days. When it gets done with the e85 and high boost kit, it should be very close power / weight of the gt3. We will see how far they are apart from there once the winter goes away.

I am doing another drive at the end of October with Adventure Drives from New York to Nashville.
