It had its moments. Suspension and brakes were superb, and with traction control off, the ass-end will slide all day long. Cruising with the top down on The Strip was also nice. However, the Dual-Clutch Transmission was meh. It was clunky, and during the Auto-Cross it was always trying to override what I was telling it to do, even in manual shift mode. The extra 250 lbs was also quite noticeable.

Though, the biggest part is I want to show my car off too, and rip up those same desert roads.

Yes, Club4AG was there and we enjoyed it. Thanks for hosting Ichitaka and the gang!

A gathering of FRS/BRZ at the heart of sin, World famous Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

44 cars gathered to celebrate almost the 1 year anniversary of the Scion FRS and Subaru BRZ.
The tour took us through the #Valley of Fire National Park, on a 160 mile tour of the Nevada Deserts, and Mohave.
The night-time hosting of a small amateur SCCA Solo II autocross event, and a celebration gathering at the Fletcher Jones Toyota dealership. — in Las Vegas, NV.The usual summer heat of 115'F weather never faded any of the owners, and we all had a blast meeting new owners from the Mountain States and Northwest as well!
The FR-S and BRZ community just gets merrier every month!

I started my trek at 8 am on Friday and only stopped to fill up, eat and bathroom breaks every 3-5 hours... 2379 miles later I was in Vegas... Drove at 90 mph most of the time... It was a lot of fun. I had a blast meeting everyone... And ill see you all at 86 fest as well.
