Paint is thin
Interior panels scratches easily
Engine crickets

I know it's not a luxury car but it's 2016 and I think these things should be standard fix. Don't get me wrong, I don't go around whining to everyone I talk to about it, just whenever someone asks "what don't you like about it?".
For the 500th time. All paint is "thin" now no matter what make. International rules came out in 2012 that required less VOCs and the tech wasn't around to paint well. It is improving every year and soon will be much better (still thin just better).

It has a stiff chassis and suspension and a low HP output but in the bends it was a ton of fun to throw around. I would call them almost equals but the Porsche won me over with all the sounds and smells and just the simplicity of it.

Beautiful car, what they did with the gt86 is take us back in time to the 60's/ 70's and 80's and that's why I love this car

One guy could only blip his throttle after a blower went in, else the car was all over the road.

But in the realm of huge hp numbers like we see today, I guess some don't consider weight and balance, only huge hp numbers. You can only do so much with a 500hp car and even like I said, the FRS I saw on the video was 300 and he was having to baby it. Drivability comes into question when you clocking huge HP numbers. The car now has control of you not the other way around
Exactly, it's designed for 200 hp, they engineered it for that hp and any more you could lose control. Very important point

ROFL, you mean the cons whine about things they created but try to blame others for their inception and consequences. They probably bought the car and are blaming the middle east for it's shortcomings.


Political parties at their base are idiotic, one should not formulate their opinions/actions based on written lingo from a political party(or a multi billionaire) but instead based on their own personal experiences, thoughts and ideology.


Let's not continue with this discussion because this thread will end up getting locked but the attitude of this political party is shit and this one is great is petty and moronic, if you truly want to get results, compromise will need to be on the menu and childish attacks need to remain in your head... i.e. current state of the US congress being on lock down since they act like children and are unwilling to compromise

Yeah but I must say new clutches are much smother/easier to use and I like power steering hahahaha!! Fun fact my dads car was the same color as that one. Maybe that is why I ended up joining team lava, must be fate

Exactly! That's my point, I can't believe that some people don't notice what a fun reliable ride this is. Screw Genesis and their ugly, inferior build quality
