I change cars faster than you changing your dirty under wear
I also happened to ordered a Panamera GTS, GT3 RS 4.0, Still thinking if I should get the upgraded 2012 GTR
I should be getting at least 4 new cars in the 1/4 of 2012
yeah im getting a Aventador, LFA , Maybach 57s, Quattroporte sport , special order Q7 with the W12 bentley engine and Buggati Veyron SS....but i cant take a picture of them for a reason i cannot say on the internet.
all the media is really hyped about this. I can't see why. At least 2 sources (road and track and WebCG) say you'd feel "something different" within the first few hundred yards of driving this car.
I'll drive before I would agree/disagree with them.
The original AE86 was never fast but it has a capability of out-handling so many other cars. The chassis was rigid and perfect for drifting or track racing. And that 4A-GE's redline isn't exactly low. It's quite up there. If you don't drive the car beyond 3000rpm, you should have no say.
And let's not forget cars like the Toyota MR-S. People think it's slow (yeah it sort of is) but will outhandle most of your cars and its braking abilities are amazing. Throw in a 2ZZ-GE and you've got some competition with other cars in its class.
Oh yeah, everybody laughed at the Miata. Everybody is jumping on the bandwagon buying one now. Every other car or two at AutoX is now a Miata.
can't agree with you more. this car is all about bringing back the raw driving feel that has been numbed down in most modern cars today.
everyone is prefering the Hyundai Genesis coupe, which is bigger and heavier. this FT86 is gonna run circles around the Genesis coupe on the track and in the twisties.

Have you considered a Juke-R? Its hideous and that's what makes it beautiful. I have Nissan custom building me a Juke-R Spec V at the moment. Estimated to do Nurburgring in 7:50 but I'm pushing them to go faster.

If it had this rear instead of the production model it would be way better, but that's my two pesos.
It's like an LF-A had a kid, and this was the adopted brother.
^ do you not read people's posts? its a track car, it is supposed to have a good balance. We are not talking about a horsepower war.

I have a good feeling that Toyota is dialing back the engine program to a very safe zone, resulting in the modest hp levels.
I'm betting that ECU tuning will help to unlock a lot more power in stock form. I read somewhere that the engine management used is a common system that is already modifiable by aftermarket tuners.

Better be Motec or something cool!
And it better not have a stupid AFM!

The wheels on this thing looks like it uses offset from a corolla / civic. The dead giveaway is the navy one with BBS FR with rear flares as big as this one, and uses high offset wheels and looks like same width front and rear, you tell me whats wrong.
Next is the proportions. looks bloated except for the front. The sides, and the way the rear fenders and rock panels are very 350z like (again, bloated). Looks like a fat chick with a mean Halloween mask.
If they trim up the sides and the rear with more edge lines like the front, it may look more like a 2800 lb car. But then will look too close to the LF-A. The length of the car don't look proportional to me. Need to shorten the wheelbase a 2-3 inches from the rear, and cut the rear overhangs. Its a coupe with a hatchback pen line like the Celica was.

that is such a pile of crap
seems like every excuse around low HP cars revolve around 'better handling'. Well shit, of course it handles better, because it is so slow there is no chance for it to go off track.
Hell, even my gf made fun of 180 hp cars on tv commercials back then like 10+ years ago.
Im going to enjoy my 500+ hp cars while you enjoy 200 hp cars. I am gonna be the first one that say it, that doesn't even make any sense.

whats odd is its only got 17more HP than the GTS celica.... and that came out like 12 years ago (2000) with great handling too; the JDM GTS had like 195HP (higher octane fuels and ecu differences or something)
What bothers me is that toyota kept saying owners will mod it so we made it easier to mod than most. Well eff that there are lazy but rich people out there when it comes to cars. If the sti motor is supposed to go in without much sweat why don't you sell us one with it then!? Posted via RS Mobile
