All too easy. I know that it works, but man, it'd be nice to see someone do something different for once.

2UR is a V8...

Haigog · 06-02-2012, 07:05 PM

Even though I expected it to be small, it was even smaller than I was expecting in person...As a 6'2", 240lb person I can't say I was very comfortable in it, and my seat was literally touching the back seat when I adjusted it to where I needed. :/ I might buy one as a toy/fun car, but not as a daily.

I think the Gen Coupe, Mustang, or WRX/STi are more appropriate and practical for me at the same price point. It's not an apples-to-apples comparison but for a few thousand more you can have a Genesis 3.8 R-Spec that will do 13.6@104.1(InsideLine) and have more room and amenities(bitches love amenities), as well as the 10 year powertrain warranty.

No surprise the new kid on the block gets 1st (and 2nd)

Braineack · 06-04-2012, 01:38 PM

its pretty impressive for it's HP output...the low weight really helps. I would just love it if they both came with a 274hp 2.0T, ya know? imagine what it could do then? And I'm not going to buy one until they make it that way.

And when it comes with a weight-to-power ratio comparable to a STi or Evo, will you pay a comparable price to those cars?

Braineack · 06-04-2012, 02:18 PM

Would be more willing, yes. I mean all they need to do is drop the motor in, I was always surpised it was going to be a N/A 4 banger. and you're still paying a nominal cost for the AWD, so if it had the same power:weight and was $5K less, then I'd be happier.

It all depends. I want to like these things, but somethings just not doing it for me. I have my eye on the wrx, ms3, or focus ST.

imnatelol · 06-08-2012, 08:41 PM

Yeah chill out bro I'm a tech at Toyota. NOTHING GOING ON

I need to invest stock in a company that makes bumper covers for these cars. I'll be rich.

03NB · 06-19-2012, 11:15 AM

That was quick. Couldn't wait for it to come off the truck?

Braineack · 06-19-2012, 11:37 AM

so is this car going to be the next: cougar, eclipse, rx8, or celica?

SR20DE_MAN · 06-19-2012, 11:40 AM

After reading around a lot, it seems like the FR-S is way too tail happy if pushed hard enough. Kid got owned by his tail happy FR-S after coming from years of FWD. Expect to see a lot of this happening soon. Insurance is going to skyrocket for the FR-S & chances are that it will most likely affect the BRZs insurance cost as well.

I has a sad.

Braineack · 06-19-2012, 11:45 AM

wouldn't be an issue if they acutally put awd in it.

etikoner · 06-19-2012, 11:53 AM

They mounted the engine in a way that it can't be adapted for awd.

I just hope insurance doesn't sky rocket with this car.

imnatelol · 06-19-2012, 11:56 AM

Was this thread cleaned up recently? Coulda sworn there was more shit...

My god a rwd car on skinny Prius tires likes to hang it's tail out? Blasphemy! Where ever you are reading around, stop, their fucking retarded.

Oh no not the Subaru BRZ insurance, how dare those scion fags! Subaru owners are the epitome of responsible car owners and the poster children of safe motoring.

How many dumbass flatbill wearing Subaru Bros have wrecked their cars? A LOT!

How many of them decat their otherwise stock cars? A LOT

Subarus already have stupid high insurance even despite their awesome safety rankings. The cars attract dumb people, just like many other imports or fast cars.

Can't blame it on the scions, heck up until this point the scion crowd has been hanging in parking lots weighed down with 20" rims and 1000lbs of speakers haha.

240SX

Three of the four you mentioned share something this car does not: front-wheel drive. The only RWD option was priced (MSRP-wise) well over the FR-S. This is a 240SX for the 21st century.

Braineack · 06-19-2012, 02:35 PM

you mean a car that no one wanted?

AWD is for retards, prove me wrong.

EDIT; pictographical evidence #1:

Braineack · 06-19-2012, 03:06 PM

no, that just proves subarus are for dog loving liberal hippy retards.

Hey, leave dog loving out of the liberal hippie retards!

Dogs>cats any day, unless you already have a pussy.

I'd have driven a 240 if it weren't for the fact that all of them are beat to crap.
