Still love to read articles on my car. And cannot wait for tonight's episode of TG which I think has the 86 in it.

The only thing i found odd in this article was the 0-100 claim of 6.8sec?

Ryan86 · 02-20-2013, 08:14 AM

The 6.8 sec was done in the STD 86, due to it being lighter....

Lots of controversy about that road test - I think the oke got paid to write BS. 6.8 secs? On a downhill maybe.

Ja, u guys are getting the picture. Lighter = Quicker

Ryan86 · 02-20-2013, 08:20 AM

Exactly thats why the High spec guys are moaning about lack of performance.... Choice of push start and climate control or brute speed.

sav · 02-20-2013, 08:28 AM

Look at the pics - high spec.

Ryan86 · 02-20-2013, 08:32 AM

That's just for the dress up pics... Read clearly says STD model used due to being lighter, faster, better handling....
And the number plate says it all. 85.6.... Need a STD to be 86...

sav · 02-20-2013, 09:24 AM

Std is only 57.3 dude. 1/3 of the car is missing!

Also, you need new reading glasses, they clearly said that the std was slower because it couldn't get any traction off the line from the marie biscuit tyres.

High specs are almost as slow as guys who pop a BRZ spoiler onto their Std's :P hehe
