He has also yet to let me know where he gets his data that he seems to know all about. 0-40 times, 40-120 times.. etc.

Reread my post buddy. I specifically said 40-120 times would be better comparisons but the data is hard to find. I also said the minivans and crossovers are probably (meaning a theory) based on the fact that they accelerate substantially slower the faster they go more so then the 86s. And my personal experience with various crossovers. My mazda cx5 with its low end torque and AWD is surprisingly fast off the line especially 0-40. Slows down a bit 40-60. But still boasts a 7.6 0-60 without launching.

Are people really arguing this car is fast? Literally the number one thing everyone says. Car is amazing handling, great entry level track car etc etc.. but it’s just lacking that power and acceleration. I’m not saying anything remotely new. I hope I wasn’t the one to break the news to you this car wasn’t build from the factory for acceleration. Last edited by 86TOYO2k17; 04-15-2019 at 09:06 PM. |

Like I said. How can you drive fast if you don’t have the power to go fast... you going to mash on the peddle for half a day? |

Ah your idea of driving is pedal mashing. So much makes sense now.

He also did 0-62mph with a mini launch in 7.6sec. Do I need to post more video evidence? That the 86 no launch is a second slower then with a launch? And real world I hope you aren’t launching at every stop. |

What about all the crossovers for under 30k$? Not account for launching makes it real world scenario. |

In fact from 2012-2018 USA BRZ/FRS/86 sales totaled 110,386, Toyota Sienna and dodge caravan from same time frame totaled 1,723,975, you are 15.6times more likely to line up next to one of those two minivans real world compared to another BRZ/FRS/86.

As a former R53 MCS owner, I'll tell you they are a blast to drive and a headache to mod and maintain. They don't like to be lowered - unless you're rocking some beefy axles and LCA bushings. Oil leaks from 3 very common areas. Your car will stay in FES mode (front end service) for pretty much any maintenance beyond an oil change. Also these things are aerodynamically challenged. Anything over 80mph and you might as well have a parachute strapped to it.
