Is it more wise to wait...

Great stuff! I know I'll probably get sh@t on by the purists for asking this, but was anything mentioned about an F/I factory version in the near future?

ZetaVI · 04-25-2012, 06:19 AM

I'm happy I got alot from the interview especially is thoughts and appreciation about the forum. Tada-san seems to be very mellow and chill.

frusciantrix · 04-25-2012, 07:03 AM

Thanks for sharing, much appreciated

MattR · 04-25-2012, 08:07 AM

Thanks for all the great coverage. I cannot WAIT to get my own FR-S. Come on July!

Slartibartfast · 04-25-2012, 08:11 AM

Thanks Ichi!
I wish I had a chance to chat with him, he seems like an interesting guy to just sit back and have a beer with.
Looking forward to more.

Thank you for the excellent interview Ichi and I'm sure you conveyed FT86Club's immense thanks and gratitude to Tada-sama for his role in developing this car!

I can't wait to hear more and finally get to drive/own one.

Hi folks,

I've followed this forum for months and gotta say this is a really good site; hats off to admin.

I work in marketing and would like to share my views on this particular topic regarding power mods.

I personally think that scion/toyota won't be releasing faster versions of the fr-s/gt 86, (at least for the western markets) but instead concentrate on aftermarket performance mods.

There are a number of a reasons for this but mainly I suspect it will be because of the pricing constraints as well as discontent from fans who have already purchased the initial n.a batch.

Subaru may well introduce a higher powered naturally aspirated STI version, but only in limited numbers and as a much more focused set up.

As there are already TRD distribution channels in the US, I don't think the same will happen for the UK or European markets. Maybe a collaboration with the likes of Cosworth to provide tuning parts.

SpeedR · 04-25-2012, 11:19 AM

well done!

I'll be kind one to say this in nicest way. No, it won't happen factory ver. Maybe in some aftermarket shops. But this car really don't need it. Seriously it's perfect as is.

Yes, he's very mellow and chill... til we start talking about cars, he become passionate. First night, Me, Moto-san, Tada-san, Nakamura-san, Taro (GT Channel) were talking about cars and we got so heat up, we completely forgot what time it was... til security kick us out (cuz it was late in the night). LOL

I would have given him a big thanks and congratulations for FINALLY bringing a sports car back to Toyota, and asked just one question: TRD Supercharger - when?

daiheadjai · 04-25-2012, 01:01 PM
