@ BootpTraphik

Awesome, thank you very much for taking the time to answer that question. I'm looking forward to seeing some numbers of the new Gen Coupe. Both in performance and price.

I know a lot of people are wrapped up in the 86/FR-S/BRZ (obviously, this is the forum for them), but for those complaining about the lacking power, the GC is a great solution, and will most likely be the more affordable choice as well.

The 86/FR-S/BRZ will be great at taking those turns like everybody has been saying, but if I'm looking for a fun dd (which is what many other people are looking at the 86 for), I'm not convinced that I want to be taking risky little "precise" turns trying to have fun with it while cruising around. The 86 looks like it will be a GREAT auto-x car out of the box. Other than that though...... I'm not sold yet -

unless it's CHEAP!
