i don't get why the TRD parts are suddenly getting all this hate in this thread. here's a comparison test between the TRD and a stock GT86 with AD08s on 18 in rims and an HKS tuned automatic GT86.

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hABzHIAfH8g&feature=player_embedded"]TOYOTA 86 2012 TRD HKS - YouTube[/ame]

as you can see the TRD beats both in the quarter mile and the track, only losing out in the autox. it's clearly faster in the corners and the straights, which can't be explained by the exhaust and drop in air filter alone. clearly the aero, suspension and chassis bracing are functional.
