I don't know about you guys, but I'm a little hesitant to believe everything Road & Track has to say.. They've had a history of providing incorrect information on upcoming models *ahem, 370z* and I think it's safe to say that they're publishing similar misleading info on this subject as well.

Just a small example, take a look at this quote from a related article...
"From what we can learn from Gran Turismo, the car’s engine will redline at 8500 rpm, meaning this thing will be a screamer. It’ll hit 61 mph (100 km./h) in 6.1 seconds. So whatever this engine is (we suspect it’s a naturally-aspirated inline-4 with VVT-i), it’s pumping out at least 250 bhp."

Those numbers look appealing, until you hit the end. Inline-4??? Dude, EVERYBODY knows that it will be H-4 powered! If R&T can't even get the simple details down, how can we really trust them on something big like this?

In all reality, this could just mean that the FT86 is going to come in different engine flavors, with the lowly base model coming out at just under 20k. Who knows for sure, but IMHO Road & Track's info should be taken with a hefty grain of salt.
