LOL

People always want what they don't have. It won't be long until we see someone mod their 2015 by removing the shark fin and replacing it with an old style antennae.

I'm just waiting for my 2015 in Halo to be delivered next week. Looking forward to posting pictures for you folks.

I'm reminded of Teddy Roosevelts' quotation regarding the Grand Canyon:
"Leave it as it is. You cannot improve upon it."

Went to the dealer yesterday and saw the 2015 FRS. Looks ordinary compared to my Monogram. All the salesperson said was to look for the shark fin antanna. He also said the RS 1.0 has an ETA of early Fall and they may only get one.

Doesn't anyone actually like the stock antenna? It's starting to grow on me...

on Shark fin

litemup · 07-04-2014, 10:33 PM

I love the rubber ducky. If I tighten it down just right it bends upward.

Harvey · 07-05-2014, 05:03 AM

I'm happy with the stock antennae look.....

InspGadgt · 07-05-2014, 06:40 AM

I'm pleased with the 2015 pics and look forward to mine arriving

I like the smaller shark fin and mat CF panels. But that's all cosmetic stuff...how's the change in suspension feel?

So the 2015 GT86 will most likely not have that silly looking exhaust of the FR-S.

Yea, apparently OEMs can't have the exhaust tips protrude out past the rear bumper for fear of people or little children rubbing against the car and hitting a hot exhaust pipe.

I just want to see driving impressions if it's any different than MY 2013 and MY 2014, around a track or how it feels, if all the front end suspension reworking actually does something.

InspGadgt · 07-05-2014, 04:16 PM

It is supposed to reduce body roll. According to what I read they stiffened the front suspension and changed the rear suspension. They did not specify what changes were made to the rear suspension.

NLSP · 07-05-2014, 04:32 PM

Where are you guys reading about upgraded suspension? The only evidence so far is the upgraded front sub-frame bolts and rear shock/control arm bolts:

Here in Germany there was the Information it's about new bolts and new setup Sachs shocks.
