GRM puts the FRS on the cover

Just got my October issue of GRM (yeah, October!!?? don't ask me about the timing of the publication, I guess since it's an automotive publication they need to release the new model months early).



At any rate, the cover article and picture displays the FRS and the article compares it's track ability against a Camry (car plus mods = $5k) . The results were mostly positive, and the Camry blew up on track. I'm not sure about the premise, but the piece was a short read. The more interesting part was the FRS/BRZ aftermarket guide. Nothing we haven't seen here, but nice to see some things in print.

A Camry could definitely be made to go faster than a stock FR-S on track, but damn would it be less fun to drive at the limit!
