The US mags long ago went to 0-60 times "with a 1-foot rollout" which shaves a couple/few tenths, which is kinda b.s. to me... I can see doing that with 1/4-mile times/speeds as that's how it's done at the drag strip, but only reason to do it with "0"-60 is to make the time quicker. But it's no longer ZERO to sixty...

Stopped by to congratulate Subaru and Toyota for producing a second generation FT86, and to praise them for moving to a 2.4L without significantly increasing curb weight (it's too bad they couldn't reduce it, but that probably would've cost too much, and it's still lighter than the E30 M3).
Though I went back to the MX-5 years ago, the BRZ still has a special place in my heart. It's great to see the only reasonably priced, lightweight, RWD, 4 seat sports car live on.

I'm honestly hoping that the 2.4L responds well to bolt ons. Though the nature of my job is monotonous (and that doesn't bother me), explaining to people why the BRZ/86 are great cars does eventually start to wear me down when I have so much excitement in my soul for it and they can't see it. In a world where people need 1g of acceleration even from an SUV, people shun the brz/86 for not having having it. I just want it to be quick so they can get over it and see how truly amazing the car is for its other qualities. Quote:
I understand what you're saying. It just feels like such a loose rule I'd hesitate to say it to someone else, and would rather refer to expected gains from bolt-ons and tune in percentage, rather than telling then straight up " yo, expect to make your WHP the same as factory rated CHP if you do bolt ons!". Your point isn't lost on me, I'm just obstinate. You've proven your point, I concede |

That I think is fair, because that helps balance out cars with launch control and those that don't have it. The other option would to be to produce 0-60 best tech and 0-60 no tech I suppose.

Instead of 0 - 60/62 times lets not ignore it but rather prioritise the the peak speed in each gear and measure how long that takes, maybe more relevant in understanding a cars on paper performance in light of all the efforts to get cars to meet emission regulations.
And adding to the announcement of the second gen, I look forward to the GR86 as Subaru's chipper gecko with chubby cheeks doesn't do it for me, it hasn't strayed too far from the first generation of Twins which I'm happy for. |

For those that aren't aware, you can do 140 km/h in 4th gear and not even be close to the red line if you need to merge quickly. |

I took a quick look at the 2022 and 2018 engine bays side by side and they are are very, very close. The only obvious thing I could see was that the sound tube connection was missing from the new engine bay.
Edit. Added pictures. |
