Kido's WRB BRZ Limited

So hours before I called Pompano Beach to order a BRZ (Im in Orlando mind you), I get a call from Daytona Subaru. They have a WRB 6MT BRZ Limited due in July 10th.

I developed tourettes I believe. All I know is I shouted 16 digits, a month, a year, a name and 3 more digits at this man.

That is days after the weekend my Mazda 3 will run 2 autocrosses back to back. Sending it out in style.

I will get the car just in time to break it in before going for a weekend at the Tail of the Dragon!

4 long weeks!

Was woken up by a call that the car was in. Too bad I can't trade in my Mazda3 yet, coilovers and other goodies still on it.

Going up this afternoon to test drive and do paperwork.

I got it!

Dealer wanted to make end of month sale bad enough he offered to let me take my BRZ then come back next weekend, trade out for my Mazda so I can de-mod it and come back a couple days later.

I freaking LOVE IT. I have 122 miles now and I want more RPM!! I did venture over 4k a couple times accidently.

Soooo planted. Car handles like a dream from the tiny pushing I've done. Cant wait to see what it will do on Sebring on the 21st!

Congrats! Are you running with Chin? If so, I'll be at Sebring on the 21st as well. I'll come find you.

Hahha yeah. My 170hp Mazda 3 definitely had torque steer though it was alright on the track (Street sucked though)

The steering is sooo precise in this car. It reminds me of my 240sx but even better.

I love the WRB! You should stop by the Wednesday night Orlando Subaru meet. You would be the first BRZ to stop by! I'm sure if you post up on NASIOC a bunch of people will come out to take a look. Heres the forum link http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show....php?t=1990291

Ive been looking for a shop in Orlando that deals with these. You guys do work, suspension and similar, or just parts?

Never heard of you guys and Ive been around the car scene here for years.
