Question... wouldn't dropping the car's suspension further lower the center of gravity even more than the cars it is being compared to?
I haven't seen the height yet though, so that may not be feasible if it comes out of the factory already lowered...

Hmm Motor trend Est the price of this car to be 25K.... and they said BRZ to be 24k... All this estimation is really annoying, I need to hurry up and be spring so we can know for sure. I think it's a great review and it's nice to know that everyone seem to love these two cars, I just hope the hype doesn't jack up the price. Thank you for posting.

Well yeah this car is meant to be a DD so it can't be as low as those supercars straight out of the factory. If lowered to the same height as those supercars the 86 should indeed fulfill the promise of having the lowest CoG of any production car.

Your first mistake is thinking that ricers put carbon fiber trunks on to save weight. Hell, the really cheap ones now don't even do they. They grab some of that 3M DiNoc carbon fauxber and go to town.
