I actually test drove a 6MT black FR-S at Fred Anderson in Raleigh and came oh so close to just buying it on the spot!!!! Found my BRZ the very next week by coincidence.

Hope to see you around!
Both you guys should come to the coffee and cars thing on the first Saturday of each month, at Waverly Place shopping center, in Cary. Quite a few twins show up, plus many other more exotic brands. Check it out.

Got this put in. It's a JL 10W3v3 wedge box running off an Alpine amp out of my old car. After messing with some settings, it sounds absolutely fantastic. Very smooth bass, and surprisingly good sound from factory radio and speakers. I had to dial it in though, because right after install, it sounded terrible. Way too much bass and hollow sounding mids. I've always been of the mind to ballance the sound, not just have booming bass. Putting the deck on "Hear" helped dial it back to blend better (much better than "Feel" and "Neutral". I still want my bass deep and loud, but I also want to be able to hear the rest of the music! Also twiddled with the gain and LPF on the amp and I got it sounding pretty dang good. Now to deal with a few of the rattles that show up at certain frequencies.....

car looks great! Where are you located? You wouldn't happen to be the one that used to be parked right by the airport on Pacific Highway, would you?

Nope! Live and work over in the Clairemont area. I haven't seen any other Firestorms around, but I've seen a Whiteout and Hot Lava as well as a blue BRZ.
