if paying like 10-15k adm it better not need almost no mods, certainly not cooling ones

realistically how often are you doing turns in 1st gear?

The WRX falls still meets that criteria, but it's a different-size car and not bespoke like the GRC. People also give the WRX grief for its shitty interior, but I can accept Subaru cutting corners in the interior to reach its $33k starting point for a new one.

I haven't been inside the GRC, but I did get inside the GR Yaris recently and didn't find the interior 'shitty'. I'd rather Toyota spend the money on the mechanical bits than tarting up the interior to be nicer.

If there were an option to have a stripped out interior like they did for the Lexus RC-F Track Edition, I'd be open to that as a trim/option.

Badhobz 06-16-2023 07:22 PM

I think there's a fine line between having a stripped out race car solely for track use and a run of the mill econobox that's spicy.

In my opinion the CTR seems to thread that better than the GRC. GRC seems a bit too "track focused" while the CTR seems more fun and livable as a daily.

Ask bic baws about his CTR and he'll probably say otherwise as its like 80 decibels on the i5 lawl. But i got a feeling the GRC is worse.

Yes, you are correct. I forgot about that. That model is near impossible to buy given its rarity.

Did it have bucket seats?

Since then I’ve never had a car without heated seats.

gotta keep dinner warm :thumbs:

trollface 06-18-2023 09:16 AM

Badhobz 06-18-2023 04:48 PM

YES. and you better come to this noob and stock meat with your DATSUN.

p.s. park it next to my ratrolla so i can take a photo of how the japanese have gone insane with their sizing.

Was the first one my local dealer sold. I am next in line.

According to the lists Nanaimo just got allocated a red Core and Victoria a black Circuit, hopefully one of those is the spec you're looking for.

MichaelM 06-20-2023 10:17 AM

My dealer just offered me a black core at list, no games, no ADM, comes in in July. No circuits on the horizon apparently.

Badhobz 06-20-2023 10:52 AM

Why offer nice colours when people are just going to wrap it anyways....:ifyouknow:

underscore 06-20-2023 07:23 PM

I want a white one so I'm not complaining about how few colours there are, but it's weird that the regular hatch had the crazy blue and the GR doesn't.

Imagine a GR Corolla, wrapped in sandrift metallic :troll:

I find that a lot of times the car makes the colour. If the car looks good, has the right lines/cues and is well taken care of, the colour would look good. You can put McLaren's shifting Volcano Red on that Corolla and it would look ridiculous.

Awwww fuck you Toyota. Now I really really really have to fucking buy one. To play second fiddle to my other ratrolla. Even though that CTR FL5 is a better car overall.

But you might have to trade in your LC to nab one

Badhobz 06-21-2023 04:04 PM

i might have "some" pull with toyota since i bought so many god damn lexususususus. Plus I know the owner of regency quite well, went to school together.

I just never really wanted one before, now i might just have to do it for ha ha's.

Manic! 06-21-2023 04:10 PM

I wonder what the price bump will be on the 2024 model. It has forged wheels and parking sensors.

In that case, I'm looking forward to the 2024 stock and noob meet with all these heavy hitter rides :spamarama:
