Why it's really called the 86
 

I was doing some math today to figure out how much power my 86 has measured in ducks rather than horses (because why not), and I discovered the real reason why it's called the 86...

Average weight of a horse: 1,100 lbs

Average weight of a duck: 7.5 lbs

Weight ratio of duck to horse: 0.0068

Using Kleiber's Law:

1 Duckpower = (0.0068)^0.75 Horsepower = 0.0238 HP

205 HP = 205/0.0238 Duckpower = 8,613 DP

Therefore the manual 2017 Toyota 86 has approximately 8,600 Duckpower!!

Coincidence??

Nice mathing!

Slow day up in Canada ....... ??

Sweet XD, didn't know there were any other solar orange 86's in the country :P

That's quite an elaborate theory when the true meaning of the 86 moniker is already widely known.

It relates to the classic Toyota model internal designation AE86, affectionately referred to as "Hachi Roku" to it's considerable cult following. As the very first and most widely used car for drift racing, a genre that developed alongside the introduction of this Toyota model in it's several guises, these cars were legendary.
In recognition of this a mandate was added to the new model during development that it must incorporate certain elements of the old model AE86. Certain technical details such as the 86mm square bore and stroke engine make the 86 connection immediate. Also, a clever detail whereby at idle the high pressure fuel pump lobes were tuned, in cooperation with a special development team to match the acoustic propeties of precisely 86 crickets.

Stop! You're quacking me up... :bellyroll:

"Fuck a duck" as the saying goes..

Isn't this a family message board? Be careful or you might get a "bill" for "foul" language.

:bonk:

Seems like I'm get a roasting from my fellow forum members..

Well the math works so OP had all his ducks in a row.

That is what you get for winging it. At least they haven't told you to flock off.

No soft pillow talk here..

The theory makes sense. It's a little known fact that the "D" in Initial D stands for "duck."

Don't bring me down.

That explains why at startup the exhaust smells like confit.

Boy, this thread sure flew South fast.

I figured you could take it, like water off some sort of animal's back.

Oh it will migrate to something else eventually. Until then let's get dangerous.

This thread is for the birds.

This revelation means that all of our cars come equipped with canards!




For those non French speaking peasants you will need to look that up to get the joke

I imagined a old dude in a strip club with a mustache, saying that to the exotic dancer he was not paying when I read this.

HEY! I resent that.




















































I always pay the dancer!

Pot stickers= + 5 hp

Hunger points!

Oh god... Lol. You are almost everything I have imagined.

This is a fowl thread. Totally flocked up.

Dont shoot at the sitting duck :D

:bonk:
What a Quack!

I'm shocked that no one has thought to ask:

How many different average animal weights did you go through to get that math to work?

or for that matter that no one thought to chime in on the flip side of the issue:

i.e. if rather than 'horse power' or 'duck power' what '{insert correct animal} power' it would take for the 86 to work as a: 86 '{ aforementioned correct animal} power' = 86

My original question was related to ducks specifically so I didn't bother looking at other animals, but to answer the question of which animal would give 205 horsepower = 86 "such animal" power, the animal would have to weigh 3,500 lbs:

205/[(3500/1100)^0.75] = 86

Male giraffes can weigh around 3,500 lbs, so you could say that the Toyota 86 has 86 giraffe power (But I think 8,600 ducks sounds more menacing than 86 giraffes).

Stroke is 86 and bore is 86

If this was posted, 2L;DR

I'll stick my neck out and agree I like the ducks better!

That's a tall order!
