People can do what they want with a car. But with this car if you want faster I say buy a different car. How about we let this important person tell it like it is.
Chief Engineer of the Toyota 86....

Points of interest new to me

-a rotary engine was part of the design

-suspension was designed to "roll" with a heavy feel in the front

-adding a turbo or bigger engine would increase HP thus messing up the designed weight distribution (paraphrased)
