FT-86GOD · 04-26-2011, 07:50 AM

Both for me and it should have been an option on the poll.... Set up for drift track days but still sneak on streets......... 20% street 80% track........

DD. Brand new daily driver be nice.
Only having to worry about wof, rego, tires, servicing etc.
Not having to worry about worn out parts till the kms get up high.
I just want to jump in it and enjoy driving it.

Ryephile · 04-26-2011, 10:39 AM

It'll end up being my daily driver, though I wouldn't mind taking it out for for some reconnaissance laps.

SUB-FT86 · 04-26-2011, 01:17 PM

DD for me. I need to get a better job so I can afford both since tires and performance brakes aren't cheap. Id love to go to Road Atlanta track.

DrunkenMime · 04-26-2011, 04:50 PM

DD but would like to take it to the track from time to time....so both

"Both" option now included

For me the FT 86 will be a true sports car that I will drive for having fun, training and gaining skills. I am going to track the car. Why I don't get a 911 GT3, is because I can't afford it, but even if could, I would not be satisfied by it, as I like the front engine RWD layout and lightweight. I can not think of any other (band new) car that responds to this creteria. Even the last BMW 1 Series M is way to heavy with its 1495 kg (DIN) though it has 340 PS if not more.
I won't drive the FT-86 only on WE for "show" or as a daily driver, to work, to the gym and so on. My daily car is a very good looking Alfa 147 that is plenty enough and will be even faster after the coming performance mods.

What about you?

WhiteKnight · 06-02-2011, 05:10 PM

It's gonna be my daily driver but pretty aggressive

Ryephile · 06-02-2011, 05:10 PM

Other than the usual Miata comparison, you'd have to go heavier to get more FR performance [i.e. 370Z, Corvette]. Since a Miata would = roll cage straight away to be allowed on racetracks, that limits you to hoping the FT-86 is a good handler.

Obvious question: If you're an FR fan, why does you sig have a shot of the MP4-12C?

@Levi - There have been thread like this. Search my friend

Kage · 06-02-2011, 06:14 PM

Nope, mainly a daily driver. You should give an other option because I would like to get into tracking my car in the future but for the time being its a No.

It would likely be my daily driver, but I'll need to take a test drive and see how well it strikes a balance between dynamic greatness and everyday livability.
