So if big trucks are giving you trouble just drive faster heh.
Yikes, imagine being speed limited and not drag limited like the rest of us slow folks.

In high school, I learned ford rangers hit the limit at 98mph. Then it chimes angrily, the fuel cuts off, and the service engine light comes on.

It was terrifying when it happened.

Even Volvo has a higher limit, kek.

Around here half of the SUVs are unmarked or stealth marked cops.

Yes they have a max speed limit but with the gobs of power and torque they have they get to that limit very very quickly. By the time they hit it they are gone.

Horrifying. Isn't there a bit of a crackdown going on over there?

I'm new to the sportscar world, although I drove a little SCCA autocross with my dad when I was a lot younger. I literally just went from a Wrangler starting in 2006 to the 86 last month as a daily driver. I'm about 15 years into a law enforcement career, so really pushing a car to its safe limits isn't terribly foreign. But you can imagine my thoughts about hoons and various kids with shocker stickers, bolt-on wings, fart pipes, and their hats on sideways. Anyway...

I've been in this 2020 86 for about three weeks now. The challenges to me in my stock car are pretty much daily. At least people sizing me up. It's taken a lot of self-control so far. :D I really, really love driving. And I am starting to daydream about mods. Might as well go order that shocker sticker.

Well, if you aren't all that enthused about having to get a Shocker sticker, there's a few other options to choose from, and one of them is sure to be more your taste than the quite tired Shocker.

Might I suggest the Show Stopper...because if you're gonna go, go big. :cheers:

If we are talking about that, shoot, thi FR-S, BRZ, and GT86 are all the same car, look at the simularities cause i feel like alot of people overlook those, (not saying you do,) i just noticed you hadent entioned them.

It is hardly news at this point though. Anybody that thinks they are different in any way other than bumpers and features don't care anyway.
They are made in the same place at the same time using the same parts (variances in trim and model aside)
