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:

Myriad

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..
