I'd never own a Lexus or a Bimmer. There's a stigma attached to them. I love 'Merican muscle (or Australian muscle in the GTO's case.) While the E30 and E36 are sweet to look at, I couldn't live with one everyday. They require too much upkeep, ESPECIALLY if I were to daily drive it.

Haha. I quit being dumb after the first ticket. I don't plan to do anything stupid with one, but a little cooked tire now and then isn't bad. I live 23 miles from the next town either direction. One is 23 miles of straight road, the other a curve-filled wonderland. As long as I have my radar detector and let my cop buddy know I plan to go for a "run", I don't get bothered. I learned to race the right way (on the track and on my farm), so I'm pretty safe about it really.

If the FT was a failure and didnt live up to what Toyota said they orginally planned to build.
I would wait for 5-10 years for them to devalue alot. Buy it up cheap.
And prehaps try and turn it into what it was orginally supost to be.

Or another Idea is to buy up a crashed one and use the motor/ running gear etc and use it in scatch built 2 seater sports car.

Eh, probably won't buy one anyways. 200hp just isn't enough of a thrill in my mind. Even if handling is great I'd still want more power.

Next toy will most likely be a C6Z.

I'm slightly confused now. Why are you looking at a car that is :most likely: going to be loved for its handling and control--if you're looking for a straight line power car? Shouldn't a stang' be the car you're looking for atm?













Btw, get ready to be flamed by other members. LOL

He already got flamed and most of old members are now ignoring him. Some ppl come to this forum for several reasons... like new FR/RWD layout from Toyota, 86 successor, boxer engine, co-join Toyota & Subaru, going back to basic, affordable sports car, and list just goes on and on BUT recently, there have been a lot of +300hp mania been coming around. By all means, if they wanna put after market turbo and make it over 400hp (like Dragon) on 200hp (give or take), that's totally fine w me. It's their car and can do whatever they want.

Maybe they should look for the Subaru, I mean usually Subaru are very powerful balanced in Torque and Power. I remember getting flamed alot for wanting a Sequential Automatic with Paddles for high traffic areas and people who have leg problems ;/

It's comments like this that make members want to flame you. It may be that we're misreading the tone of your words (since it's difficult to gauge just what kind of person you are through very few words in an online post), but this comment makes you sound... like an SOB. Can you see how saying that you probably won't buy the car (which is fine since it's your money) and then going on to say that (in your opinion) the car won't be a thrill could be construed as a non-constructive statement? Then one really has to ask, "Why are you on a forum about a car that we all know will be around 200hp?" And then going on to say that your next car will be a C6Z on a forum where many of people are here to enjoy the affordability of this new sports coupe is, again, a douche move. Not saying you should leave the forum. I would just ask that you please choose words that don't bring up images of "party foul" and "pissing in our cereal".

Unless you really are here to troll, then by all means carry on.
