  • Earlier this month, we headed down to Tennessee and North Carolina to drive some real winding roads in a 2013 Scion FR-S. In this video, we do a walk around of the FR-S, show you what we were able to fit in the trunk, and take you on some of the best driving roads we could find on the way down to The Dragon.
    For the best video experience, we recommend wearing a good set of headphones. The audio in this video was recorded with binaural microphones that, when played back through headphones, give the feel of 3D sound. Trick stuff.

    Nicely done!
    I just bought an FR-S, Pearl White, Monogram model. I haven't been out to ride it like this yet, but plan on doing so many times. While at work in the dark at a TV station, I'm kept happy by your video!
    Nice downshifts, BTW. I've gotten out of practice after 15 yrs in automatic cars. I did pretty well in my Ghia, VWs and RX-7s, so I'm sure I can get back up to speed.
    Thanks for the inspiration.

    Great look at the CRS. I keep seeing them around here and wondered what they looked like inside as well as how they drove. They seem to offer a quiet ride at freeway speeds without a lot of road noise. It's hard to tell how torquey they are and how they do when passing or when you hit the pedal and want immediate speed.

    Driving stick, quick shifting, rev-match downshifting or heel-toe perhaps?
    What else is missing? :P
    By the way, when you were cruising in the highway, at what gear where you driving when the RPM were at 3000.
    Also, was is 70MPH or 70KMH?
    Thanks for this video!

    If I owned one of these cars, the first thing I would do is either have Vortech V3 Si intercooled supercharger installed with a smaller s/c pulley, or I'd go with a dual scroll turbocharger... I'd probably go with the centrifugal supercharger do to the high redline this car can be shifted at. Most turbo's die after 5500-6000 rpm. 5000 rpm and higher is where a centrifugal s/c starts to shine. Plus there wouldn't be a boatload of torque directly off the line, so you wouldn't be burning rubber as easily as you would with a turbo. Either choice would be awesome in this car though. Just my opinion.

      99.5% of people could not take 100% advantage of 200 horsepower in the Fr-s let alone anything more. It's more for bragging rights and getting off on having more than what you need than anything else.
