Let's not derail this enthusiasts thread because "I picked the MT so I can get better performance out of it."

If you think your 0-60 times are fast I know about 30+ auto owners on this forum who would gladly put money on it .

Indeed. Back on topic, sorry for the derail OP. Great looking car BTW and congrats!

I don't mind derailing into the AT vs MT convo here. In fact if you have links to further debate/info, I'd love to know! It's one of the reasons we signed up to this forum - INFO!

I'm still getting used to the search function on this forum platform. It's different from other ones I use, and I can't seem to find jack sh1t easily.

Search what you want through google just add ft86 and it'll show you forum results. Search on the forum is useless lol

It's cool to see so many opinions on here about the two styles. That's the beauty of offering two strong options - we can wax poetic all day long, but truths will only be found on the track.

Well put Sir. I will admit, the paddle shifters do seem pretty cool. I'm just a little more conventional when it comes to these sort of things. From the outside of the car there's no way of telling what kind of tranny it has anyways. In my opinion your's is a very stunning car. From the photos it looks like your from the Flagstaff area or possibly from that one area about an hour northeast of Phoenix. I lived in AZ for over 8 years.........

Well spotted Ricky - this was somewhere between Show Low and Phoenix. We live in Gilbert, but drive all over the state for wife's work. That part of the 60 running through the Salt River Canyon was paved with this car in mind.

Take your time with your mods, you will be surprised what OEM bits you may miss once you pay for something else

Ahhh....how I miss AZ now. The land of windy mountain roads and very few police officers to monitor them........I'm jealous.

Here in MD there's a speed camera every 50 feet and if you're not at a red light you're in traffic. There are a few places I can escape to down in southern Maryland, however. You just have to know where smokey is setting up and remain alert.

You should take a drive up Mt. Lemmon when you get a chance. It's that big mountain north of Tucson.

Funny you should mention Mt. Lemon... We're in Tucson right now...


I hadn't been up there since I was a kid more than 25 years ago, and I seem to recall it had been a lot of dirt roads back then.

Looking good man, enjoy

NICE! The FRS looks really nice with that spoiler you added to it. What kind is that?

Thanks Ricky, it's the stock Scion factory spoiler. We had it added by the dealer when we purchased because it just tied the rear and front together nicely...

like a certain rug in The Big Lebowski.
