Yep, only two real mods needed to the engine to allow it to take crazy boost...

Almost bought one, but the fact that Saturn and Pontiac are both gone and the platform itself is dead... Just means parts are going to be rare and expensive in the coming years.

they just come off as an american miata. the power is nice but they didnt seem to handle like they should. its not a light car either. not for its size/packaging anyways.

Ergonomics and the top never fitting correctly was my main issue with them...

This looks like garbage, and I've never seen one without this issue

Ive had one come in at work with a 2J. I've also had one come in with a LS6 in it...

They did around here!
Can't walk through a parking lot without tripping over one or the other!
Must be 4 or 5 of each in the 400 site campgrounds I have my trailer at alone.
Sort of funny as THEY sold like mad here but few people know what a FRS/BRZ is much less buy them. The power of advertising I guess.
Always liked the looks of them but never drove one.

That's hilarious I remember seeing a few when they were put out but it was mainly the middle age female I would see driving it (not to dissimilar from this car tbh)..

They are here as well and Mustangs of course!
Have only seen 4 FRS and 3 BRZs and only tow of them had people driving (both young guys).
Don't know much about the demographics other then what is posted on here and that is grossly distorted because of who joins a car forum. If the survey here is to believed we are almost all engineers, IT, creative professionals or military (including ex) males between 20 and 40 years old!

Saw a Saturn Sky on my way home today. Had to go home and look it up - I had no idea what it was. Sounds like it wasn't a great car, but it sure looks nice on the road to me.

Xti · 10-30-2014, 05:23 PM

ok...how is the car balance ? Soltice +2JZ

Atticus808 · 10-30-2014, 05:45 PM

my fiancee's step ad has one and i have to say that thing is pretty damn quick and nimble.
he has the GXP version and i'm not sure what size turbo but it's about 300hp

dem00n · 10-30-2014, 11:53 PM

They were quick and good handling cars at the time of release. They're still a good buy if you can find one. They can embarrass a lot of cars at Autox...

Wouldn't mind one as a project car down the line...
