I'm not sure if that's directed at me since I didn't write the boxer was a requirement, only that I disagree with with SUB-FT86's assertion that using "a flat engine seems to be a complete waste of time".

Weight directly contributes to driving dynamics.

I don't know if it'll sell to those people any more than the Mustang, Camero, 370Z, and GC, but the FT86's primary market is people who want traditional sports car driving dynamics on the cheap, but need something more practical than an MX5.

I'm actually jealous of you and SUB-FT86 in a way; I wish I enjoyed driving cars like the GC as much as you guys because they're cheaper and more spacious. To each his own.
