So i stand corrected and people are probably right that the FT86 will be able to do a late 8min lap. But i dont think its going to be able to get below 8:30 with 200bhp and 1300kgs (just over 2800lbs by my calculations right?).
I hope the car is lighter.... i thought it was going to be about 1100kgs (just under 2500lbs) originally?
Also i wonder how hard you can corner in the FT86 before it breaks traction? Having been developed as a homage to the AE86 id expect it to be a car thats easy to drift, meaning its going to be more difficult to get it to stick in corners at high speed surely?

That's a misconception about drift cars. It's mostly a function of tires, and this car will probably have very good grip when it's on good summer rubber.
Take a drift car, slap some good summer rubber on it, and it's going to stick in the corners like crazy....
