Fr-S/Brz vs ferrari & other supercars - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Actually I'm quite happy with the FR-S. If it inspires new RWD coupes, fantastic, if not, c'est la vie. I'm going to be keeping this car for at least 10 years anyway.

I'm just tired of hot hatches, that's all. The Focus ST inspires me in no way whatsoever.

You guys are funny. FT86's are hatches lol. Interesting that it is referred to as a GT86.
I like the sound of that

Go home. It has a trunk, not a hatch, liftgate or anything else that doesn't resemble a trunk. The RSX is a hatch...because it has a hatch.

So you want a car just like the Frs because there are too many cars that are alike?

In a fwd car, the throttle isnt a 2nd steering wheel...

unless you know how to left foot brake. the point is you arent using the throttle on corner entry so handling is more a function of suspension than drive wheels

Is that Nessy in the picture with the GT86 in the foreground? Look out across the water behind the point.

Haha, seems people hate to see these cars get, not good, but great press. My last car was a corvette z06 which was alot faster then this car but lacks the road feel and not near as fun to drive. The money I spent for the vette I could have bought 2 brz's and turbocharged them both

Travis · 07-23-2012, 07:33 PM

I have driven a very large number of exotic cars and although they are much faster and flashier, driving my FR-S the other day on my local back road was as much fun as Ive ever had in any of them. The overall feel and balance of the car is on par if not better than most exotics Ive driven. So happy with my purchase
