Haha reason why main chara of MF Ghost have red 86 is, cuz shigeno own red 86. He always make the cars he own as main charas car (to certain degree). Just like Ini-D, he owns AE86 and GC8 (in panda and WRB), so Takumi and Bunta drove those cars lol

As someone who had a 2013 FR-S and went to a 2017 BRZ w/ PP. I can vouch that the Brembos did make a world of difference on track compared to stock rotors + pads I had in the FR-S. Granted these are OEM-level Brembo performance brakes -- but my FR-S brakes would start to fade even after a spirited touge run, whereas the Brembos still gave me confidence when I stomped on them on track.
I would vaguely say that the Sachs dampers are a slight improvement than my '13 (from what I recall before mods) -- very compliant on rough roads, which is probably what the engineers intended. Don't care too much for the 17x7.5 wheel. It's only wider in order to clear the Brembos I guess. ... and yes these cars deserve to be in flashy colors

The LFA came in matte black for one single car. Did you know the GR-HV isn't a production vehicle, so it doesn't matter what colour it comes in?

The thing with that is it just doesn't look the same, the color has no depth. There's pictures of our cars plastidipped matte black, it's just not the same as a true paint job. Quote:
I think we should get three colors from Subaru, their orange off the Crosstrek, their Hyper Blue, and the yellow from the Series.Yellow. Then we can get matte black and lime green, I've seen the two colors get wrapped or plastidipped and it looks okay, but a true paint job would make it look even better. Or if you have like a game with our cars in it, try it out and you'll see that it actually looks pretty damn good. |

Anyways, maybe you should buy a Lexus, because I don't know if you know this, but our cars are literally marketed to younger people. I don't know about you, but I don't exactly see a lot of 20 year olds running around with Lambos, yet plenty of them are matte black. But it must not be an issue to you when it's a $250k car vs. a $25k car? So if matte black isn't cool then black isn't either? You do realize both are still black, right? |

I like Matte paints. It's something different.
