I think that would depend on the dealership. Just like the pure pricing. Edit:NM

Maybe that's where the FT-86 will differ for me. The reviews seem to indicate that you can oversteer easily (especially on eco tires) but that corrections cannot be made due to the lack of power. Maybe this was something they were testing with an early mule, or entirely the tires' fault, or an overzealous tester. Who knows?

I just hope the stability control is totally defeatable and that over/understeer has been dialed in for use with proper tires.
Is this in regards to what I said Neutral? Because he is upset the torque is "weak" and too high in the rev range than his Audi T.T.
