    First off, I'm not your bro.

    Second off good to see another car forum starting off with people like you already.

    I don't know if you're jealous, or just a fucking loser.

    Chill out keyboard Commando. Save the tough talk for someone who cares. So basically you're on a forum that is dedicated to these unreleased vehicles and all you can say is you drove one. No pics, nothing else to tell?

    My cell takes shitty pics, so I will have to see if the other guy I work with will send me the ones he took.

    The one we have is blue. It looks like it does in the pictures, just not as special. I didn't get to drive it hard or anything obviously. The wheels look a little small on it, and one thing I don't like is a cheesy factory tow hook that sticks out of the bumper. It just looks like someone screwed a galvanized I-bolt into it.

    Other than that, cool little car.

    I would move out there if everything weren't so expensive. I'm tired of missing out on stuff like this all the time.

    Yes, more feedback, please! Regrdless of how much/hard you drove it, how did the engine sound? How did the seats and driving position feel? What was the feedback in the steering like? Quality of interior plastics? Etc.

    huh. They have plastic covering them. We got it detailed and ready for the show today.

    The seat hugs you pretty good and the driving position is good. Seat could be lower because I can see guys over 6 feet feeling cramped. The clutch and brake closer together than anything I have ever driven before. I just moved it around in underground parking so I can't comment on power/handling. It has a pretty sporty feel just sitting in it.

    Yea wheels definitely have plastic on them. How close are we talking on the pedals? Have you driven a 240sx? If so can you compare it to that?

    Yes I have. I thought they were VERY close, but maybe because I was running off of 3 hours of sleep and was delusional. I will look at them tomorrow and make a good guesstamation

    Sweet. S14 pedals are so close to me. If you don't mind me asking, what do you do?

    I'm working for a company representing most of the manufacturers for the Canadian auto show tour. It's a co-op job for the school program I'm in. It's mostly bitch work. We recieve the cars off the truck, and handle them until they hit the showroom floor, and once they are there, we maintain them for the term of the show.

    That sounds like fun, even if it's bitch work. I might be working the International Auto Show in Boston next weekend, repping Audi. Hopefully I can see a BRZ or FR-S there
