Ill sell mine for $32k!
BTW, the seller is on the FRS forum. He wasnt even an official 86 winner, the one that had the car first backed out. He picked it up over the weekend and already posted it for sale

He just looked at it as a way to make some $$$, and probably will.

BTW - If you haven't noticed, your laziness/decision to play around with AZ has now made you irrelevant. 
We have some Asian dude and won't be needing your services anymore.

You wouldnt.....
It drives very nice, yes. I cant wipe the smile off my face.
It even has ESP!!
Thanks, and I agree. ~300/275 at the wheels would be great, but its not slow by any means. Its a much better platform then the CL though, and with ~250whp I think it will outrun my CL. I will get there someday, probably when the warranty runs out

Hes Asian, what do you think? 
Honestly, the car is tiny. But theres a decent amount of space inside. The steering is direct, kind of artificially heavy, but its quick and accurate. The brake pedal is very touchy. but definitely grabs. I kind of cant wait until the stock clutch is toast so I can swap it with a heavy one. Its just way too light, but maybe thats just because Ive been daily-ing a stage 3 clutch for over two years now.
The shifter is a bit notchy, but it may just need to be run in a bit. If not, Ill swap the fluid for some synchromesh. Its very short though. I had no problem finding gears.
Despite its weight, the car feels very solid. The build quality blows the CL out of the water. Im incredibly impressed. Also, don't let the 200hp rating fool you. Its got some decent power. I did a 60-80 pull in 6th gear and it didnt even bog down. The instant fuel reading showed 33.4mpg, we'll see what it really has in it on the trip to KC in June.
Im a bit annoyed that they had wheel locks and the carpeted trunk mat installed at port, thats an additional $130. They tried charging me for the clear bra, but the GM said he would comp me on that. They tried saying the GM wouldnt say something like that, so I pulled out my phone and called him right there That saved me $400.
Im supposed to be getting some extra things from Scion; a numbered 5 Axis Design cf license plate (won't be installed), a numbered pen (big whoop), a $200 gas card (better), a car cover (I like), and some other merchandise.
Right now the car is still at the dealer. I refused to take delivery until the funds from my bank clear into their account. BTW, dealing with an out-of-state credit union is a PITA. But Ive finally gotten that taken care of and got a 2.71% interest rate over 60 months
The car is scheduled to go to Fortune Auto on the 28th. It will be there 3-5, long, painful days being used for measurement purposes and will leave with coil overs
I also received my free
Grimmspeed license plate relocator. Wheels will be on the car before it comes out of Fortune Auto. Im debating whether I should crack the stock headlights open and black house them/swap projectors, or just for a decent deal on the BRZ headlights. We'll see. Anyway, once I officially take delivery of the car (should be tomorrow), Ill post up a new thread so I dont continue to derail this one.
PS - That white stuff isn't soap

I need to take a pic from the seating position. Since you sit pretty low, the dash is somewhat high, you dont see any of the hood. But luckily the fender arches are just enough to show you where the front corners of the car is. Its a pretty cool design thats also functional.

Not free, but at a steep discount
I did get a free Grimmspeed license plate relocator, and they are supposedly sending out more bolt on stuff for me to test. I've also made my car available to another local shop for more R&D work. Im still trying to find other performance shops in the area, but the big ticket item (boost) won't be happening until a tested and proven tuning program is out.
