+1 +1 +1

I think Toyota needs to brings its cars into more grass roots (compared to F1) racing series. BMW does a great job or entering its 1 series, 3 series and M3 into all kinds of racing...

Same. Just want a lightweight carver of a sports car. Where I live there's no mountain roads or long stretches of road where I can use 400hp anyway. Just want something nimble with decent...

Well if they do paddle shifters I hope that it's tied into a true DSG tranny and not just a lame way to override an auto transmission's usual shift points. I always hated those setups. :thumbdown:

Toyota FT-86 weight -- take your guesses

Like everyone was hoping to hear about the FT-86 concept's weight at the Tokyo show. I'm sure we'll get this data eventually but for now what does everyone guess the weight is?

Couldn't agree more. Most cars out of the box are capable of so much more than its owner's abilities and I'm sure the FT-86 will be no different.

If the concept version is any indication, the production won't be a staggered setup. Concept FT-86 is 225/40/19 tires all around.

Could call it something completely new. Not like Celica historically carries the same brand power as say the Supra, at least not for me.

I would love for them to keep the # 86 in the name somehow. Or definitely give it a completely new name, not Celica, not Corolla, etc..

I'm perfectly fine with 17's for factory wheels. It's a small car so factory 17's will look nice anyway. 19's are probably a bit big for this car and will likely negatively affect handling anyway,...
