Don't forget dealer horror stories and price gouging if there's a chance.

Misinformation from the salesperson about arrive dates, the dreaded "first one crashed" thread, track days, cruises... etc....

this is starting to look/feel like a real forum!... with real cars!

there is still alot of information that is not yet released that we can speculate on right?

0-62 mph time
quarter mile time
top speed
actual power/torque graph
price

these things should keep us busy until all specs are released

Trust/Greddy
HKS
Brembo/Stoptec/Wilwood
Powerhouse Amuse
Zero Sports
Cusco

and big name aero kit companies will try to get on this ASAP. or is already in sketch plans already like I am, getting it ready for molding and test fit for the first month at launch.
If Powerhouse Amuse does with this what they did with their S2000, the car may just weigh in under 2000lbs when they're done with it.

Fuck that site, it is filled with a bunch of 5th gen nutswingers. When Ford released the numbers for the 2011 Mustang GT and the GT500 a few members posted up the specs and their post were deleted and some users were banned from the site

Mines is predominantly Nissan oriented, and Amuse, Honda oriented. I do expect to see stuff from them, after all, this car will help save their livelihood, but expect to see stuff first from (besides the aforementioned);

-TOM'S
-Technopro (Spirits)
-Blitz
-Top Secret [ZOMG I can't wait to see what crazy ish they are going to pull]
-JUN
-Cosworth [Sick NA build, watch for it]
-Weds
-RIDOX

When those bunch are finished I look forward to J's racing, Do-Luck and the whole gang. I even expect to see a Yashio Factory 86 is Nissan doesn't soon annnounce that an S16 Silvia is on it's way.

Lord there are going to be too many ways to spend money on this car

Right now the folks who cared enough about this car before it even got released are here. Soon though, the flood of people seeing it for the first time will arrive, and proverbial shit will hit the proverbial fan...
I thought that happened already

Well for me I'm just
First: wait for independent real test drive
Second: wait and see what shops plans to both chassis
Third: see what owners here say & what problems it will have

No, so far it's just been a few proverbial monkeys throwing their proverbial feces. The flood of people are a bunch of lurkers.

Oh God help us, yes. Just think someone out there on the interwebs, maybe someone reading this very thread, is going to show up on the forum and his first post will read:

I could tell he wanted to race me, so I revved at him hard, and when the light turned green I dumped the clutch from redline. I had hella wheel spin but I still managed to smoke his ass like he wasn't even trying. This car rocks!!!11

So now I know I need more traction if I want to take this shit to the next level. How wide of a wheel can I put on in the back? I was thinking about getting some 18x11's with a +15 offset, how much camber will I need to get them to fit? I searched, but I didn't find anything.

thx!
