FT-86 Competition / Track model mentioned in EVO Car Of The Year Issue

[Matador]

If this were a return to the 90's we'd have a new supra on the way, a REAL turbo RX-"7", a Mitsubishi GTO, a turbo version of the Z, an NSX and MR2.

Nay, this is a return to the 70's/80's baby, Yeah!!

I hope it has AC tho, even in frozen england its always handy to de-mist the windows faster.

Even if they didn't, that wouldn't be hard at all to do.

I wonder if the track-ready version will make it to American shores? I mean, it would be strange for it to not, but I can see it being one of those damn things....

Anyway, I love my Si but peace out Honda unless you can come up with something like this. I was going to move up to an S2000 funtime car but they put the axe to that.

Now it's between this or a WRX... After owning 5 hondas (and only hondas) it may be time to close the book.

Indeed, I like how in some Porche's they've replaced the rear seats with storage bins on the lightweight models.

Everyone no doubt thinking "Why didnt we think of this first!"

Seems like the demand for an FT-86 type product has been around for quite a while.

Reading the articles, apparently the guys at Ford still don't get it... they way the mustang is selling though, I don't think it matters.. lol

Wouldn't the stripped version just be the regular with parts removed? So that should mean you can add any part that is missing if you buy the associated hardware.

I hope...

Heh that's awesome. Good proof that Toyota has hit on a good formula with the FT-86. This car is going to kick off a small sports car renaissance

There's still just one automaker not on that list. I'm sure you can figure it out.

Honda, doubt they will come to their sense that every car manufacturer needs a fun to drive car, I can't think of any thing in honda that is fun to drive in 2010 line up.
