[SPEEDHUNTERS] Enjoying The Scenery At 11,600rpm, Another Synergy V8 GT86 - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Doing this in something, in anything is a goal of mine I wish to achieve at somepoint in my life. However the fact that they make a kit now that just drops it right into the GT86 makes me giddy.

It won't be anytime soon, but I have 0 plans of ever getting rid of Charlotte. Hopefully someday I'll be well off enough to do something this drastic.

What is the squeaky sound on braking?

Racing brakes will squeak, especially when cold. They usually quiet down once warmed up properly, but that's not always doable on the street.

Yeah I don't see how anybody can get excited at all at $70k + another $30 for the car. $100k can be spent much more wiser.
A new Z06 seems like a bargain compared to this and it will walk all over it too...comfortably and with a warranty.

Racing pads as someone else said, track ones tend to do that because on the street it's very difficult to get them up to temp unless you flog the car. They squeal at lower temps because the compounds/metals involved are much more aggressive

That's the thing that gets me. How can anyone,not just get exited,but justify paying that much.

You could get much more for your money than this.Not that it's not awesome,it's just that the price point isn't very economically sound.

Maybe it's like the race to walk on the moon in that you want to be the first one(or in this case the second) and throwing $25.4 billion in 1973 at it to get there was worth it to say you were the first.
A lot of engine builders revel in the fact that they are the first to put some engine in a car that wasn't meant for it. Somebody has to be the ones to overpay for it in the beginning.

very true - 100k can by some very nice cars (like a Z06).

But, if you did have this v8 swap from synergy I doubt there would be too many other people in your city that had this done.

*that doesn't justify the $ by any means
