Here is a headscratcher:

There are all motor hondas in the low 10's.... Make that FRS/BRZ do that....

And last but not least that track looked pretty much closed to the public. That is not cheap and neither is the man hours that it took to make that car do that. That is not some simple drop the car off and pick it back up and it is in the low 11's now. Gimmie a break. Just marketing PR to drive up aftermarket sales only to ride on the huge amount of PR that ToyaBaru has already invested.

I have looked into renting billboards around town so I kinda can guess what this one on the side of the HWY is costing Scion right now. I bet easily close to $200k for a month and that is just in my area. No telling how many more if I drive north.

Last but not least I have seen the vid where the tranny maxs out in the 150mph range or something. What are they going to do for gearing??? I mean this was built for the 1/4 not out on a long fast road course. (I dont condone street racing in anyform)

The Z gets to 150mph with no issues and some, plus once at limiter there is more to go gearing wise with more WHP.

I would be pissed if this is what my $25k bought:

I mean seriously , this is the sports car this site is argueing over.... The z could do better driving head on into gale force winds.
