The AE86 is a fantastic car, Its a great first tuner car, simple to learn on, not too much power that you'd get yourself hurt, Fun to drive. It also makes you a great mechanic because You'll be fixing something atleast every other weekend.
Also riding that 4AGE to red line is something you cant describe.
Trust me I'd know, I've owned several
But the AE86 stood for more then that, every 86 meet I've attended was a tight knit group of guys who were legit, and were truely passionate about the car, not ricers or gang bangers. Maybe thats just because the AE86 was so old or because their hard to find but its a great community.
I'm looking forward to the FR-S to carry on my passion for cars.
If the FR-S carry's the same spirt as the AE86, I'll be proud to park her next to my AE86.
