Quick 86 Review

[DJKOR]

I was originally leaning towards not really wanting one as I prefer my larger sedans etc, but the more and more I look at this car in motion, the more I actually think I want it.

Top gear website have a video of two GT-86's drifting in a abandoned car park, makes me defo getting one! haha

LOl i've tried banning myself from these pages so i stop wanting one. and for all its impracticality every time i see one especially seeing one in the flesh i just want , want WANTT!

In that case, I better not show you this:

I believe this is Manabu Orido & Nobuteru Taniguchi who are basically Keiichi Tsuchiya's proteges!

Woah the 86 Brothers will even be available in some nice colours instead of the normal bland white and silver!

lol Wheels mag head line from June's issue. " TOYOTA BEATS PORSCHE! 86 WINS. WORLD CHANGES FOREVER..."

First the LF-A knocks off Ferrari's and Lambo's best and now the 38k Toyota 86 Coupe is as capable as a Porsche... there's a disturbance in the force i feel!

[SecaBoy]

The only thing lacking (and that article confirms it) compared to the Porsche is power.

Good to see its got the handling done. :)

Aussie spec 86's are the first country to use the alternative Final gear ratio. 4.100 V 3.727. Also aero package GTS's go into production this month. Fun fact about the aero package, The front and rear spoiler is not fitted at the factory for shipping reasons so is actually fitted by your dealerships pre delivery centre which is great if you not the biggest fan of the giant rear spoiler. All the factory and TRD spoilers use the same mounting hardware so you can fit another to the boot with no dramas.

Thanks a lot for that info!! I love the Aero Pack (so I ordered it..) But the spoiler is a bit.. Hmmmm I think you know what I mean!! we'll see if I get used to it or not, otherwise I'll be replacing it with the TRD one I reckon!

[Adamsy]

Yeah i agree with you there. love the front and side but the rear spoiler is just a little boy racer and supra for my liking so i would put the TRD "lip" if i can be convinced i can live without a sedan haha
