yeah ichi pretty much got it all. there was one interesting tidbit in tada-san's introduction. when asked "when do you feel enjoyment when driving?" he responded when he downshifts or turns the steering wheel and gets it just right, or is able to match revs right on. he feels this comes from a basic human feeling of wanting to improve and get good at something. he feels that many of today's cars can be driven pretty well regardless of whether you're good at driving or not (which means you are unable to experience that feeling of getting something right on or improving your skills). so when designing the ft-86, he wanted to build a car where he could once again revive that feeling of excitement of being able to improve one's skills. sounds like he really has the right idea in terms of developing this car.
