Chicago Area GBS BRZ
What's up FT86 club?
I picked up my GBS BRZ Limited MTX about a month ago. It is way too much fun to drive. I'm going to burn off that stock rubber in no time. I was not anticipating how much attention this thing gets! The car I traded in for the BRZ was a silver Mazdaspeed6. It was visibly modified but no one really looked/cared.  3 by spdfreak6, on Flickr  4 by spdfreak6, on Flickr  Profile by spdfreak6, on Flickr The exhaust turned heads but only for a second. This BRZ however....  BRZ-Sunset 2 by spdfreak6, on Flickr  BRZ-Headlamp by spdfreak6, on Flickr  BRZ-Sunset 1 by spdfreak6, on Flickr  BRZ-Wide 2 by spdfreak6, on Flickr  BRZ-Front End by spdfreak6, on Flickr People STARE. I'm too shy for this shit! Anyway, the car is awesome. I'm dealing with the torque/traction downgrade just fine. The BRZ puts a smile on my face in an entirely different way. But oh yes, there will be mods. The more time I spend on here will likely correlate to how much money I spend. So I'll post that good stuff in here. First up will likely be some springs and a set of wheels/tires. Cheers!:happy0180: |

Haha I feel ya on the Shyness. I am not used to people staring me down as I drive past them or when I am parked and people walk by. It is something that is going to take awhile to get used to. Congrats on the purchase!

Speed6 was a monster car! I loved that and wish I could have found one not abused. You do not see many here in Nebraska.

Speed 6's are sick; those were awesome pics! BRZ's are sicker, especially in Galaxy Blue
