My favorite GT86 review - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Jeff86 · 02-04-2013, 02:48 PM

LOVED this review... perfect

Dorb · 02-04-2013, 02:51 PM

Good old, old clip.

Rampage · 02-04-2013, 03:15 PM

It was great to see someone enjoy a drive in a car that much. Now I wonder if he will go out and spend the "40 grand" to buy one for himself. That would be the ultimate endorsement of the "best sports car you can buy...anywhere".

This review reminds me of the Nino Karotta review that sold me on getting a BRZ. You really felt how much he appreciated the car in his video and regret when the run was over.

It's an oldie and been posted before, but for those of you who haven't seen it:

" Some cars are like bees, ya know? They're busy, they work hard, they might even be yellow and black! They work hard and they're all fitting from ting tah ting and ya know everything's good and its all interesting to watch but it doesn't do anything, it just makes honey and you're very happy with the honey. This cars a wasp! A wasp will mess up your day like nothing else, because it does nothing else! Apart try to kill you, and your family, and your kids, and then if you try to kill IT, it brings its friends....to kick your teeth in and sting you to death!....over and over again! Thats what this cars like...a wasp! "

WatchmaN · 02-04-2013, 07:27 PM

Dorb · 02-04-2013, 07:38 PM

Who needs the 1000 mile break in period, just run the hell out of the dealers car and leave. lol.

Thought I heard him hit the rev-limiter early on.

"There's a little BUZZ out of that, just an INDUCTION sound, out of it... Every time you put'cher foot down..."
(stomps on the accelerator)
"...OOOOOOOOH!! And we're STILL not breakin' the speed limit!"

And that's with the stock Euro exhaust. After I put the Greddy exhaust and ARC intake on my FR-S, it now delivers that tone even louder, to the point where I intentionally want to slow down, downshift to get back over 4500 RPM, and then go WOT to get that "BVVVVVVVVVF!!" sound. I need to bring a microphone along to record what it sounds like inside, and have a friend on the side of a clear empty straightaway to record a drive-by sound. It's evocative of the opening of Initial D First Stage.
