Surprising our SUBSCRIBER with his DREAM CAR BUILD! (Full Transformation): 2014 Subaru BRZ

  Alex was recently announced as the winner for throtl Dream Build #2! As the winner of #throtldreambuild2, Alex got his car shipped out to San Diego California to be fully modified by the throtl team. When Alex's car arrived, it was a mostly-stock 2014 Subaru BRZ. As soon as the car arrived at the throtl headquarters, the team immediately got to work on some modifications. Alex's car got the works with some new interior, exterior, and performance-based modifications.

Sure, we are all diehard manual transmission fans, but technology enhancements happen for a reason.  Obviously, the SMG transmission, (Sequential Manual Gearbox) is much more primitive than the modern day Dual Clutch transmissions, like DCT, or Porsche's PDK, but this video shows that even this old school SMG puts a good lead on a traditional manual transmission.


Even though the Manual gets tromped on, our boy Rick sure would've loved to get his hands on an M5 with the manual. Happy Motoring!
