Hello all,
I've been a member on here from the earlier days, though I admit to getting a tad tired of the daft speculation, which is what it's been. So as a result I stopped coming on here.
However, we are now nearing the time, well sort of! I have been speaking with my dealer and they are saying summer next year. We'll see I guess.
What do I drive? An AE86 of course!
I for one, really hope it lives up to the hype of the AE86 because, the AE86 is such an icon, the FT86 has a hell of a lot to live up to. I am somewhat awaiting with baited breath for the reviews.
I have had some discussion with my dealer (RRG Macclesfield) and we think it is looking likely that if they get an FT86 in the showroom they'll put my car alongside it. That would be cool!
But, for me, I can't afford a new one (I spend all my money on my current car!), but maybe in a couple of years it'd be cool to have both an FT86 and an AE86 on the drive!
As for all the turbo crap, why is it, everything has to have a bloody turbo thesedays? My car has 132bhp, it's enough to have fun tbh, straightline speed isn't the point, going round corners (often sideways) is more what it's about. It should be about handling not whether it can outdrag a BMW 330D.
