Wink Top Gear (Korea) GT86 Video Review

I only spent a couple hours translating this.. so I didn't have a chance to fix the grammar errors :P

From what I hear, the BBC version should be coming in about a week or two so this should do now!
enjoy! :happy0180:

So, 2 seconds faster than the Scirocco R on the skinny crappy tires.... Not bad. Imagine you could pull another second or two off that with comparable rubber.

I think those OEM 16" wheels look much better on the car than the EOM 17".

i like hearing the opinions of people from all over... i disagree wtih his view on the interior tho. yea its not top of the line or anything but its far from bad. I bet if he sat in a dodge magnum(what i came out of) then got in the 86 he wouldnt be saying its the worst

still, that seems kind of embarassing. and like WTF?

all this talk of low center of gravity, and low weight, and we're getting beat around a track (where it is supposed to have the advantage) by an SUV?

thats true.

but still, taking into account the nearly twice the HP, nearly twice the TQ, the car is also over twice as heavy! i just don't get it.
