My problem isn't getting into the car as much as it is getting out of it. I'm 6'1" and on leg day at the gym,it's kinda rough. No need making it any worse.

Always start with the loose nut behind the steering wheel.

OP, other than "because", why do you need more power? CA would be an awesome place to own this car, unless all you do is light-to-light with the other clowns.

Cram some rubber chickens in the exhaust.
No drone at all, a nice roar at speed, and increased back pressure for an extra 10 horsepowers to the ears.

Wheels and exhaust man. The exhaust is inaudible and puny looking and the wheels are just terrible

I could only imagine how majestic you look while doing that. It's one of the worlds wonders, big people, small cars; little people, big trucks.

5'9" is racecar and superbike height

I'm 6-6. The wife and I took the BRZ on a 4000 mile road trip from just north of Mexico to northern Virginia and [mostly] back earlier in the summer. She took a pic of me standing on the other side of the car. You can see all of my belt buckle and that my fly is partially unzipped.

Those of us who are vertically gifted do look pretty strange getting out of this car. My last M/C was a VFR800. Not a hardcore sportbike, but not too far off. I heard the term "Monkey copulating with a football" on far too many occasions. Well, not EXACTLY that term, but you get the idea.

Don't performance mod anything on that 860. You aren't better at this than toyota's Engineers... sry. looks wise go ahead and go crazy. It's all preference there but why buy a limited edition if your going to change it anyway....

if you think its under powered... you bought the wrong car, go buy an S2000... or a mustang or something and leave that poor 860 alone.. sell it to someone who will enjoy it for what it is supposed to be.

A used Mustang is 300 bhp. Job done.

Because:

trends
marketing
capitalism
social media
need to fit in
can't make decisions for oneself
freedom to do whatever you want, based on whatever other people decide
