Toyota GT86 / Subaru BRZ / Scion FR-S

I read via my motortrend app that trd is working on a supercharger for this little gem.

I've heard they are evaluating it. They may determine that the engine becomes unreliable with that compression ratio and forced induction. Who knows.

I'll be shocked, though, if someone doesn't offer an aftermarket supercharger or a quick plug-and-play wire harness to fit an ej255/7 or ej205.
 
Finally saw the FR-S in person at a dealer today.

Seats fit snug on my 5'8" 155lb cyclist/soccer player frame. The shift throw is super short. The steering wheel is fantastic and tiny. It very much has a cockpit feel inside. Great visibility out the front and the haunches at the front fenders make it easy to see where the front of your car is (rare these days). Trunk is big enough. Back seat room is non-existant. It looks like an exotic. Just jaw dropping beautiful in person. Little bit of Caymen on the fastback, some M coupe on the rear fenders, and pure sex. The wheels even look pretty good, which I hated at first. I didn't get to drive it (was already sold to a customer picking it up that evening), but the overwhelmingly positive reviews about the fun-to-drive ability of this car make it pretty clear that I'll have one of these one day. I wonder how much I can get for the MINI.... :devil:
 
I drove the frs (auto) it was fun. I really liked the car. I still would want a little more power. 200 just isn't enough.
 
Drove one on some WV backroads today. After driving a V10 M5, an IS-F, and a 911 S (around disney raceway), I thought, well, that was awesome. I didn't have the insane urge to go spend a lot of money. After driving the FR-S... I have to have one. Going to go rob a bank.
 
The more I see the FR-S/BRZ the more I'm really liking it. Great reviews so far with minimal negatives. That silver FR-S is stunning, even though I like the interior of the BRZ a little better.
