EvilPenguins "You bought the wrong car" BRZ

Been lurking on here for a while figured I would post up our BRZ. This is actually my wife's current "daily driver" but that is a whole 3 mile round trip a day.

This car is unusual in the twin world since we actually use it mostly at the drag strip She wanted something that she could take when I take my other project cars and the BRZ was the car she liked. We just finished our first drag and drive event the first week of April and finished 5th out of 22 in the dial in class and were only .002 of our dial. So far the cars best 1/8th mile has been a 8.74 and best 1/4 a 13.64 which is good for the car being an automatic and being a fairly basic setup.

2015 Dark Grey Metallic Automatic

Engine:
HKS catless EL header
Borla S type Catback
Sprintex intercooled 210
69mm pulley
tuned for e45 via Tomm.BRZ

Suspension:
Bilstein Shocks/Struts
Swift R Springs

Exterior:
Avid1 18x9 255/35/18 Conti Sports
Verus carbon duck tail spoiler
OLM carbon front lip
Rexspeed carbon STI side skirts
Valenti Tail lights and 4th brake/reverse
