I guess I'll be the first AE86 driver that will replay to this topic, From what we know about FT86 right now, the balance, NA low power rev happy engine, affordable price (hope its right) & light weight (most important), yes that's what makes the AE86 a different car. For people who wants more power out of this FT86 remember AE86 never rely on power its 1.6liter 4age motor only had 103lb-ft. To me AE86 is a teaching car, this car is an adventure to my youthful years, my passion on engineering and style. This car resembles when Toyota makes cars with soul, Its is far from perfect but if you are serious about driving, no holds bar pushing, no ABS, no traction control, no speed limiter & fighting every corner this is the one for you.
What I expect for FT86 is to extend what I learned from my AE86 and refine it
make me better as a driver & tuner, pass that to my kids make them better than me.
