truly beautiful car, every time I see it next to the 2000gt I realize the beauty of this car, I feel like I take it for granted sometimes.

just because you know it, does not mean anyone else does. I learned from this thread, I learn from this forum every day:)

Don't forget those tires are also used on other slow eco brands like Audi and BMW.

Tetsuya Tada had a 2000GT brought into the room where the designers were working..

Also the the bulges on the roof are designed that way for strength and leaves more room inside for when helmets are worn..

The head rests are designed to be reversible,also to accommodate helmets.

The design of the number 86 on the badge also represents 4 wheels drifting.

I don't think that's that's entirely true, the U.S. spec Prius' don't use Michelin from what I remember, I think this is for the Euro and JDM spec prius' with a performance package

*shrug*

I'm ashamed to admit that my dad drives a prius, and it's the same tire compound. Not performance package. In any case, I think we can all agree that as far as track/trap numbers go, the stock tires suck.

Thanks for clearing that up, wasn't sure, but at least from what I test drove it doesn't feel bad at road speeds. Maybe if doing a track day or autocross it becomes a huge hindrance.

This one is probably well known within the community, but there is likely some out there that are not aware, especially FR-S owners because the vehicle is not called a GT86. The fender logo of 86 with pistons symbolizes the horizontally opposed boxer engine with 86 in the center paying homage to the JDM version GT86, spiritual successor AE86, bore & stroke size, and the 86 even forms the shape of the wheels of the car while drifting.
can someone explain that...

Very minor nit-pick, but I keep reading "JDM this" and "JDM that".

Actually, the car is named 86 in Japan, GT86 in Europe and Australia, so it's only the Americans that may don't know about the fender logo with "86".

Also, the European GT86 has the 86mm exhaust too like the JDM. Again, the American Scion is different here.

But overall, I liked this post.

The 4 square/rectangle are like the tires or contact patches on the road i think

Correct, and they are tilted to one side making the circle seem like it's rotating or doing donuts. Which also works as the crankshaft for the pistons and rods.
