I'll have to look around for a leftover '13, then. Mustangs do nothing for me. Too fat. |

Yeah, I know. That's why I'm not too worried about it. But still... that's another 300 bucks out of pocket. :P

So, it looks like the most unique models of the FR-S are the 2012/early 2013 built ones with the no screen head unit, turn key back to basic's sports car as it was meant to be...

This is why something out of a lower Marque I would prefer fabric seats unless they offered seat ventilation! Like with a Porsche. I hate leather in the summer time if you're going to drive it unless you have AC running all the time. And I wouldn't mind converting mine, if I had one yet, over to Electric AC instead of it being an accessory!

The BRZ was built 9/12 and has the original head unit. My FR-S was built 6/12 and I have Bespoke. I made it a point to reset the EQ to flat and turn off all the DSP stuff in the BRZ. Same in my FR-S (which, by the way, was correctly set to "FR-S" when I got the car). With the car off, the timbre of the audio sounded pretty much identical to my FR-S overall. However, there are certain bass frequencies that really rattle my door panels; I played those songs in the BRZ--no rattles. When you're moving, that's where the difference was HUGE. I actually switched wheels (!) so I tried them both on Michelin Primacy HP as well as my BFG Rivals. There is VASTLY less tire/road noise in the BRZ with both tires. Not only does that make the whole driving experience less fatiguing, there isn't as much noise blocking the music. I listened to the same album back to back the same highway and it was just much more clear and pleasant in the BRZ. Quote:
But upon comparison...they seem to be the same. These are the only two pics I could find: So if they both have the same amount of insulation (which is pretty much none) then the BRZ I drove definitely has some aftermarket sound insulation. Well in that case, I think it's time to add some weight to my floors and doors to make my daily commute more bearable. That shouldn't take too many tenths off my autocross times |

Man. Talk about nit-picking.

I've tried my FR-S on Michelin Primacy HP (OEM tires) and BFG Rivals. I've actually driven that BRZ on three(!) sets of tires: Primacy HP's, Rivals, and Fuzion UHP. I drive my FR-S ~70 miles a day,and when I get in the BRZ to go somewhere during the day, it's a noticeable difference. A pleasant one Toyota/Subaru made an admirable decision to give the 86 bare floors...people spend so much time trying to get the insulation out of 90's tuner cars. I used to roll around with gutted interiors...I guess I'm getting old, I want some insulation for my music now |

Has anyone tried to get photos from Detroit? Seems like this thread completely missed the show it foretold....(spoiler) the Detroit show had a white monogram but did not include interior pics..
