Dream Car Make and Model Mixmatch: Is that a Scion iM? Or Toyota Impreza?
By Mike Garcia
Scion 300ZX
One of my dream cars was built at SEMA. It’s a Scion FR-S with a removable top, a turbo, and rear louvers. It is, essentially, a Nissan 300ZX with the Scion FR-S treatment.
This makes it very easy to imagine a worked out FR-S. Some people have complained that the FR-S needs more torque or horsepower. I contend that the chassis is so good, it can handle all of the power the engine is throwing out. That makes it a very manuverable chassis, one that’s easy to have fun at road legal speeds. The rear louvers add a bit of a 1980’s look, and the removable top reminds me of the arcade game OutRun. It just seems like the perfect car for night driving and to take to the beach.
