Appearance packs?

FYI, this post isn't pointing directly at you.

Orido & Taniguchi didn't have much problem w having light tandem drift the bone stock 86's (only difference is they upped the tire psi)
[ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGleQH-frJk"]New86 Twin Drift 谷口信輝 MAX”ˆ #lovecars #toyota #subaru #supergt #D1GP - YouTube[/ame]

Drift isn't a thing? How about autox? This year's National STX class 1st place drove the twin & STXL 1,2,3 twins finish. Or Yamano driving BRZ taking gymkhana champion.

Wanna go crazy? BRZ GT300. All other GT300 have crazy big V8, I6 & V10 engine and BRZ is pull fastest lap time from 2L engine to be in pole position more than other GT300 competitors.

All of em by any means have shit load of hp (except GT300). There are enough owners already wrapping their twins around trees/poles with (almost) stock power. Can't even control 200hp and want more power? Blaming lack of driving skill for lack of power/tires or whatever, is pure joke. Cry to Miata owner and see what they say... cuz they'll prob laugh. I don't remember AE86 had snail under the hood as TRD upgrade. Hell, They only lasted few years (4yrs to be correct).

Honestly, I don't agree with this $60k 86, it's VERY steep for this car... BUT with all the modification it has on it (which btw has well over $45k parts) and R&T test, air tunnel test and countless hours designed "functional" parts (& don't get me started on BS aero & other so called "functional" parts aftermarket company makes) it's well worth $60k. Is 14R60 for everyone? No, there are only handful (100 to be correct) to understand how much this car is worth and willing to fork over that $60k.

Instead of crying and bitching bout how engine don't have power or how expensive parts are, how about appreciate Toyota & Subaru for actually bringing parts out instead of left you nothing like AE86.

That's just my 2cents
