The GC might not be the greatest handling car, but it's stupid how easy it is to squeeze power out of the 2.0t GC. The MX-5 is about $800 more than the GC2.0T. Take that $800 bucks, pick up an intake and Power Axel Reflash and the car gains 45rwhp/65ft-lbs. It might not handle as well as a Miata, but at least it has some style. |
Style is subjective, to each their own. I wasn't comparing the MX-5 to the GC, just listing prices. As far as 2.0T performance goes, I just don't see the point while there's a 300hp Mustang V6 to be had for the same coin.
But neither of those cars are really my thing, I've been trying to get out of my Miata for a while now, but there's nothing new out there right now that feels the way I'd like, save for an MX-5. I figure the FT-86s lies somewhere between MX-5 and S2000, which is why I'm here, waiting.
Orginal point was I keep seeing comparisons to cars priced well above what we expect the FT-86 to cost, and I wasn't sure why.
