I thought that it had started a while ago due to the number of videos. Anyways, good to see that production started, hope not to see much delay.

There have been a lot of photos and videos from dealerships in Japan for weeks now. Were they not allowed to sell, only show?

Good questions, no idea. I follow a lot of Japanese and hadn't seen orders being delivered to customers yet but maybe I was just missing them. This is the first I've seen of someone actually getting theirs.

Another, kinda boring photos. Night time shot of one in the dark, and bonus digital dash: https://twitter.com/takano_mario/sta...994003968?s=21

Doesn't seem too drifty on the AutoX circuit but I guess the driver wasn't aiming to.

Yet it looks more fun at moderate speeds in a circuit. Again maybe it's driver dependent.

At least on the AutoX it's clearly not understeering even in the wet which is great to see.

Nice couple of handbrake turns there near the end.

What is the obsession with figure skating? It's not the quick way around a circuit.

It's all in how you drive.

This video tells you absolutely nothing about what a stock BRZ will be like on track. It's clearly dropped on aftermarket springs and has non-OEM wheels and tires, and who knows what other mods it has?

Mean.

Found the source for the AutoX videos. Interesting blog.

Probably an independent and honest "review" who has no real reason to mince his words unlike the commercial reviewers.
1. 705kg front 564kg rear. 1269kg as delivered.
2. He doesn't feel the torque dip.
3. Gear knob for gen1 brz doesnt fit. Instead need one that works with the GR Yaris (whatever that stud dimension is).

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Edit: they’re both M12x1.25 from what I can dig up (ZN6/ZC6 and Yaris). So maybe this is an auto vs manual thing (autos are M10).
