Not true... we got some good photochops out of it!

Anyways, here's the Supra/FT86-II comparison. Note that the Supra height wasn't stock, and I had to eyeball and raise it, so the ride height might not be accurate.

Interesting.
I remember driving around my old mkiv and it seemed like a pig compared to the nsx's and corvettes i was next to. I hope the ft86 wont have that feel.

Is it just me or does this sound alot like a Honda Prelude.
200 Hp
2950 lbs
its not RWD but still
seems like a very close match to me

[Mr.Jay]

If there is any honda that this car is kind of like it has to be the Acura Integra Type - R


Weight and power are close along with sports and track minded design pretty much all numbers are comparable except for the fwd vs rwd

You guys are funny.

This is probably lighter than Prelude, with an overhang that isn't 4-feet long. Factoring in inflation it's also going to be cheaper than a Lude. And most importantly this is RWD with a far better weight distribution. Think it's nothing like any FWD Honda.

MKII comparable with a miata?

It's in here somewhere.

Edit: huh, where did I see it if it's not in this thread...

Edit: Can't find lol. Must be on Nasioc that I saw the comparison of several cars with the MKII concept.

Edit: Okay here it is. I found it in my pics.





We can thank the lovely person over at Nasioc(I think) for sharing this. Sadly, I have forgotten their name. They should have tacked their name to the pic and added contact info. These pics get around, if you catch my meaning.

I'm going to go ahead and bump this up.

Those are awesome. I wish I had one with the 90s sports cars. 968, Supra, 3000GT, 300ZX, RX7, Corvette.

I know there are comparos between the Supra, RX-7, and the corvette in this thread. It's just a matter of someone combining them(not me).

Being a bit picky, the dimension on the Miata is a bit off. The 2009~ years (which was used in the photochop) were an inch longer, 158.3".

So to scale the Miata is a bit closer to size to the FT86-II:

Rookie here cant wait not to be haha!
So it seems the MX-5 is the only car (well worth mentioning) is smaller then the ft-86 but not too much smaller than the genesis, sounds good to me. Just did a test drive in an R-SPEC not to long ago and it was nice even with me being 6 feet tall and as my fellow giants would agree it sucks being tall and love compact cars.

The 3 have similar power to weight ratios but the Genesis is a MUCH bigger car. I want to compare it to the RX-8 aswell but it has a better P:W than all 3 and is renown for it's handling ability and response.

It's so hard to decide D:.
