2003 G35 Coupe (during my bboy phase... don't ask). Finally some low end grunt. But that eventually got old. Realized I missed having a 4-banger. This car is not as well put together as a Toyota.

2012 Suzuki SX4 Crossover AWD. Lovin' my current ride and not afraid to show it. Best color EVAR. Holding me over til the 86 comes out... in blue.

Cool stuffed cat though.

And that is a nice shade of blue . Hopefully that Zuki does the job for you . I have some respect for Zukis seeing what they have done in the past.

'94 Supra vs '00 Impreza RS... yeah, where I live don't snow, I would totally take Supra hands down... but sadly it snows here in winter

[toper]

Here's my mine. It's FWD V6 and heavy, the complete opposite of FT86 lol!
I think it's the best 'looking' car with a sub 30K price
Im excited for the whole new experience with ft86






I love the a$$ part

It's nearly in the same place as the FT-86, maybe a bit lower and further back. The accessories are on top, the rotor housing is at the bottom, very low, behind the axle line,aka front-mid engine. It's almost like a boxer engine wo/cyclinders. That's why this new engine in this smaller, lighter car excites me, it's very similar in many ways and hopefully is as much or more fun!

The problem is those cylinders eat into the suspension space, hence Macpherson Struts in Subaru's.

That image visually describes what I see when I look at a RX-8.

2010 Chevy Cobalt SS Turbo-silver
It has Treadstone Performance intake, charge pipes, intercooler, and catless downpipe. Turbosmart 52mm BOV. It's tuned using HPtuners and runs either a 91 octane 21psi tune good for about 330whp and 360wtq or a e85/91 mix tune at 24psi good for about 360whp and 400wtq. It's on the stock turbo, transmission (with limited slip differential), and suspension. Exedy hypersingle clutch, TWM short throw shifter, Ace: Concept 5 18x8 wheels, Hankook RS3 245/45 r18 tires... tinting as black as death.



She is named Melissa, and she is a torque steer monster.
