I would rule this forum as the true and rightful king if I could pull that one off.

I noticed that too. I asked Toyota and they said it was to help prevent the tires from spinning due to the increase horsepower output. They also said they will only come on the manual versions, auto get primacys.

So does this mean the front bumper will not be the same as well

One can hope, it also means they might have a turbo or V10 from the factory when it makes it to production.

Ha ha ha, right, this 2% power increase demands many changes.

These are all season tires. My guess is that these will be standard equipment on vehicles sold in northern states and possibly in Canada. Everyone else will likely get summer tires. This is already done IIRC.

The gearing change (not the HP bump) could be all the difference here.

OK...Maybe... still smells marketing BS a bit.

We got the same old summer tire here before. Which I always found odd since they gave us mudflaps and heated mirrors as standard equipment.

I just cant make myself like that front bumper... It looks too.. wide open I guess would be the best way to put it.

Anyone else prefer the old model flat piston 86 logo placement on the fender garnish as opposed to the 86 oval on the side of the car?
