It should have been like a Civic SI, where you have sports susp, a sporty motor, etc.

For the moment, I'm pretty sure this is a base car, which doesn't make sense if it's an '86' inspired car.

(Implying that there should be one trim level, and one only it's a true '86' and that's a GT/GTS/Whatever but sporty trim.)

I'm hoping they release a billion limited edition models, sort of like the S206 STI.

Something like that would be rad, because you're taking a rad car and making it more rad.

Not taking a car designed to be the new hot whip for the cool kids and teenage girls and making it fast. (Scion TC joke)

I mean, really. You know why they didn't want to make a 370z competitor (basically another Supra)? Because yet another impractical sports car in the 30-40k bracket wouldn't sell.

I know that's a hard pill to swallow, but don't take my word for it. Just look at the market.

^This is will sell and that is also why it will, the market is there. If they were to compete with the 370z, and the mustang, and the other cars they wouldn't sell for the first couple of years.

There is talks of a TRD version, just not in the first year. I definitely understand the whole 86 thing, personally I think they shouldn't have tried to rebrand a classic.


2 videos if any one cars, the second one is pretty good and shows how exciting the car can be. Again it's a stock car on the cheaper side of things that has to compley with all of the newer laws. If it didn't it would probably weigh 200lbs less.

First chop of one that I've seen that makes the FT86 look good.



Again, ride height and wheels are where Toyota and Subaru messed up. I understand it can't come too aggressive from the factory, but hell, it needs to be 1-1.5" lower with less derp looking wheels at least.

damn that does look good. I'd still rather own an S2000 though.

Edit: you guys know what today is, right?

No stretch, custom arches.

That orange ft86 is pretty sweet. The one greddy released yesterday was pretty sick as well

Greddy said they are going to do another one with a turbo kit soon . I am a whore for Greddy products so I might have to think about it. Btw fro I agree on the wheels, I really hope for both cars those aren't their production wheels, and I agree on height except I feel like the frame and undercarriage will be low. It's the same with my bugeye or the GC's. I would like to be lower but my frame is almost laying. They made bigger wheel wells so they can go 4 door and convertible soon, and that's a quote from Subaru.

That's okay, but I'd go with TE37s instead. I bet TE37SLs would look awesome on a white one.

GVR4 Rear Susp appears to be junk for Drag Racing.

Do all DSM's gain negative camber under compression like that? Looks like a solid 3-4* neg.
