Minimum requirements... - Page 4 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

What would really float my boat:

Liftback/hatchback
Helical LSD (Torsen, Quaife, TRD, who cares)
Under 3000 lbs and 22K (23K with LSD)
Standard stability control (to protect our insurance premiums from the idiots)
Assembled at the Tahara, Aichi plant.

I would drop another $1K on heated seats and auto climate control. But that's probably too upmarket for this car.

Ooo Ooo! I also want to see some nice ambers... I absolutely hate clear signals...

Here's what would make me happy:

Under $28k for the fully equipped Turbo model
Over 220hp
Flex fuel ready(E85 is a lot cheaper than 110 leaded)
Weight under 2800lbs
Limited Slip Differential(clutch or helical)
Brakes that require 17" wheels or bigger
Room for a 255/40R17 or bigger front tire
Room for a 275/40R17 or bigger rear tire
NO SUNROOF!

So, you don't tune or make over 150 hp... Right?

150 HP is impossible on regular gasoline?
When did the laws of physics change?

It was more of a generalization that people unconcerned with making power wouldn't understand the performance benefits of E85. It seems to have held true once again.

NESW20 · 02-04-2010, 02:41 PM

for trackdays, E85 is great. exactly like cheap race gas.

i am not, however, an advocate of it for normal, everyday driving.

i don't think one fuel is necessarily "better" than another; each has its benefits and drawbacks. i prefer gasoline in my own stuff, but realize that ethanol has its place as well.

i know what point you're trying to make, but i think it can be made without such silly statements.

my MR2 makes 240whp on a factory turbo running 91 octane...

Notice the correlation between your HP and your understanding of fuels?
