Drive around a track with a professional to see what a car can really do (I garuantee, whatever you think is quick cornering will be shattered).

look here man i dno who started this driving thing dont come push things here. all i said was i could drive and that can clearly mean anything as to even poping to the shops and back. you suma come and say best driver please dont exaggerate things. and lastly i did go around kilarney with a professional not in my car tho in fathers old car, after i drove and he was next to me. I know how understeer and oversteer feels.
Sheesh I get a thanks and then a blast in two different posts???
Feel like I'm talking to my chick

I posted that because earlier someone said:
yes to win drags... really the best handling car? my side no its the 3rd best handling maybe. thats the age wen you drive your best coz you do things on the limit

PS "drive fast in a straight line" nuff said!

Adam, I don't have a problem with you but you're not really making a good case for yourself here. You're coming across as a kid trying to mingle with the adults which is fine, but then you should at least act like one and not be surprised if you get treated like a kid when you don't.

These videos should help you make your decision Adam.

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8mF9vRsv7s"]Toyota 86 V/S BMW 120i, Mazda Roadster, VW Scirocco [OFFICIAL VIDEO] - YouTube[/ame] - nice comparative test

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qdFB_TGc9E"]AE86 - YouTube[/ame] - the joys of RWD vs. FWD - eventhough the Honda had more power...

Also Car magazine:

http://www.carmag.co.za/comparative-...s-vw-polo-gti/

http://www.carmag.co.za/road-tests/toyota-86-high/

Another wildcard worth checking out is the new untested Fiesta ST - could be very good...

Look at this thread aswell... 86 vs. the world!

Hope this helps...

Adam, don't let these okes get to you. The issue is the guys in JHB can't beat a Polo GTI so you hit a nerve. :happy0180:

Eish...quick one...couldn't resist:

Sold a C32 AMG, my Beast, for the 86.

Still turns more heads and hours more fun!!!

Polo, seriass-ly? Polo's seem to be reserved for specific profiles of drivers, nothing specific, and just a broad view.

86 brings in great fun and the enjoyment of driving! Yes the robot to robot is nice, but cruising and them seeing the driver is even better :-D

You on the coast and will feel the difference immediately from what I'm told.
I've got the WORKS Drop in filter and to honest... very overrated in my opinion.
Should have just gone for the K&N.
I felt no difference.
I took the filter out and took my car in for the software upgrade... Felt a difference immediately as I was driving away from the dealership. The lag in the middle has drastically reduced and it revs much cleaner.
I put the filter back and still feels the same.

I haven't put the Unichip in yet. A friend of mine put one in his Fortuner and dragged with another friend's Aurus. The fortuner pulled the Aurus from the line and kept on opening the gap. I drove the fortuner with and without the chip. It made a huuuuge difference in power. It also made the car lighter on fuel (if you were to drive it normally).
