Sarcasm, I think. I hope.

This year a new president will be elected and therefore it will be a "Post-Obama era".

Ahh. So we don't get the improved 86 until Trump is El Jefe. 0 to 60 in about 2.4 seconds is my guess, or none at all if Hillary get the job.

I know what "post" means, thanks. And we are not post-Obama until 02-17, if ever.

"STOP AND GO TRAFFIC!" Difficult concept?
Apparently I know how to drive and have none of the issues you claim to. Not one. Ever.

You could spend $10k and have a poor man's Lotus or you could go and actually buy a Lotus for $80k and maybe it will be reliable? Although for $70k you could do a lot repair and retunes... I mean if it's your daily driver and being 10 minutes late will get you fired or something don't mess with your shit.

I believe I know what you're getting at. As you begin ease into the woeful brake pedal and mash down on he hollow bottom clutch in your head you know you're just going to have to wind this thing back up again. God forbid you leave it in gear to let the car creep, it will certainly buck and jive with displeasure at that thought. No, the FT86 requires you to keep your foot at least near the clutch pedal to maintain any sort of civility in traffic.

Yes, in traffic the car is utter shit. I've mentioned this before, maybe.

This guy...

From your previous posts, it's pretty clear your extremely negative feelings on this car. I kind of wonder why you even bother hanging out in an enthusiast board for it.

When my car wasn't FI, daily driving it felt like just about every other car with a 2.0L or smaller engine in traffic. It was ordinary and definitely not sub-par. Still, my FR-S looked better doing nothing than any Sentra, Corolla, Civic, or CRZ. Want more? Driving this car at its' relatively low limit is where the fun is. With that in mind 0-60 in 6.x seconds is not bad at all. That was the stated goal of Tada-san. Did you expect something else?

But really, how about a link or source for this part below? I'd be willing to guess that there quite a few cars from both Toyota & Subaru that deprecate faster than the 86 (e.g. Yaris, Corolla, Prius-C, RAV-4, hell probably even the Avalon. And from Subaru, my guess would be that the pre-2015 Forrester, Impreza, and Cross-Trek, also deprecate equally or faster). What's your source for this statement?

These cars depreciate much faster than any Subaru/Toyota for whatever reason....

BTW... I ran my 2013 6MT FR-S at "Very Good" condition and its' current mileage (28k) and the value Kelly Blue Book returned was $17,855 (purchase prices was $26.5k). Standard mileage (36k miles @ 3 yrs returned $17,200) How in anyone's mind is this faster than any Subaru or Toyota? If you just made that up, please say so. Otherwise a link would be really nice.

I was referring to the 0 60 time in auto vs stick. Assumed he drove auto because he said it took him forever to get going again. Just doesn't take me very long to get from one light to another.


Not sure where your going with all this hostility. He drives a porsche now so doesn't matter.

The light turned green and he floored it, changed gears and floored it again. The fucking car fish tailed and he almost lost it!! My wife screamed, what an idiot!

Ya, 600-700HP is awesome...No thanks, I'll take this little car with it's measly 200HP any day.

Yeah I don't think anyone bought these go drag racing in them...

He claims to drive a Porsche. Although I have to believe him if his biggest concern is making sure there is never enough gap between him and the car in front for anybody else to pull in. Can't have cars getting in front of you in stop and go traffic you know.

People around my age (24) apparently do from all the posts I've seen on social media.

Then they bash the car and sell it, fucking up their finances and blah blah blah blah

Well I guess you can't fix stupid but it seems like the fun in this car is in the lateral Gs not the going fast in a straight line kind... I mean I test drove a 2016 Mustang GT w/400ft/lbs of TQ from the factory just to make sure that indeed wanted cornering over raw TQ before I bought my BRZ.

He was the guy that hated on the FRS claimed to have bought a Mustang and then hated on that and wanted to get a FRS and then hated on the FRS again. Was freakin' everywhere here about a year or so ago.

Too drunk to comprehend all this weird hate on the AT. Me and my boy @soulreapersteve will be over here touching tips over how secure we are with our transmission choice.

Fuck ya'll h8rs.

And I'll leave it at that, so that ichi's girl doesn't end up perma banning my ass.
