Lol, I actually laughed though when he said they made sure they reinforced the cars floor to ensure rigidity, although the roof is light, they did reinforce the floor already...but I'm not gonna drag that debate into this thread. :happy0180:

Guff is right; with the rear spoiler (I am reticent to call it a spoiler since it actually reduces drag) the car was/is advertised to get a Cd rating of 0.27. Of course, that was a couple of months ago, and manufactures specifications are subject to change prior to model release... yadda yadda yadda... You get it. Again, that is why I inquired about the actual US specification with the "spoiler." Basically, I am wondering if my first mod. is going to be underbody aero-features.

If I were hell-bent on getting grippier tires, I would just buy a higher quality compound and not screw up what is a very good suspension set-up from the factory.

While I love all the "new thinking" and completely redesigning everything - that's also a scary thought. They get one thing a little wrong and suddenly we're all just guineapigs for the next couple years. (I'm looking at BMW Z8, E46 M3, etc - basically learning about design flaws years down the line, at the cost of early adopters.)
Still though - I'm excited about it! |

If we were playing a drinking game, where you had to take a sip each time they mentioned how low the center of gravity was I would have been wasted after the first 3 minutes.

I really liked the videos, thanks for posting them! Subaru has done a much better job of marketing this car to the enthusiast. Scion has a much more "make it your own" type of philosophy, so most of what they have is modified FR-S cars all over. In any case, this made me kind of want the BRZ a little more because I have a feeling they had a lot more time to tune the suspension than Toyota, but maybe not.
