another click bait article with Google translation. i think we should lump insider info and fake news together all here. no need to start a new thread every time something pops up on the news feed.

My track manager friend has driven the new 86, they had it at his track for testing/promotional purposes and he was allowed to drive the car. He was under heavy NDA and couldn't give me any real info, other than it was good and felt faster than the old car (he couldn't tell me any details and referred to the car with a wink and nod as, "a car you would be interested in").
I was surprised to hear that he got to drive it, and reading between the lines with what he did say, it sounded like this was a pre-production/finished car and not a test mule. I was disappointed I didn't get a heads up and wasn't, "accidentally" at the track when the car showed up. |

1.) No more torque dip (or more torque available to overcome torque dip) 2.) The power increase isnt that drastic 3.) The internets will still complain about lack of power and a minivan will be faster. I think the japanese yen has an extra 3 zeros compared to the north american coin. So you might sound like a millionaire, but youre really not lol. So a 3000ish dollar increase in price....ugh. Last edited by Sasquachulator; 08-31-2020 at 04:58 PM. |

Dollars to doughnuts people are not going to be happy with the performance.
Well, except for the "purity" crowd.

That's worse then eyesight, which seems confirmed. That article definitely makes me think the toyota fuel system is gone too, which "those in the know" have hinted at. I'm betting the redline is coming down in favor of a bit more midrange torque. |
