Toyota: Make Tsuchiya-san commercial drifting FT-86. Print money.

He could do it on his lunch break like this:

You know how much he spent on his 86? It's ridiculous amount of money we're talking about here. I highly doubt he gonna compare w his 86

That's cool and all but that just speaks to the crappiness of all-seasons. I'm just saying, compare ice tires to ice tires and then tell us how it performs.

Edit: Oh and Tsuchiya-san said it, his reputation should speak volumes of this car. I don't really know THAT much about him beyond he is called the Dorikin and some of his exploits but I will keep this in mind when I test drive.

A comparison of the FRS and Tsuchiya's own 86 would be a great comparison for Toyota's sales lol.

Comparing Tsuchiya-san's 86 vs FRS? FRS will go into Touge 280~300 class & not Touge 200 class.

The RWD comment is 100% false. I have driven plenty of rwd cars in the snow. They are actually better then fwd if you have snows on and even better with a LSD. Just have to learn how to drive and have proper tires.
