Why I’m Glad the 86 Came With No Turbo Trim: Still a Better Love Story Than Twilight - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

someone call me?

I'll just be happy with my slow FR-S until its big brother gets released to the market.

FT-1 in my future, I see.

Texas BRZ · 11-04-2014, 02:13 PM

Rubbish...

I still feel Twilight's love story touches my heart a bit more.

The 2003-2008 got a supercharger from TRD though.

Great post.... most people don't understand all of the background machinations that go into OEM mods. When a car manufacturer changes something as simple as brake pad composition they have to re-certify the car with the new material. It's a slow expensive and time consuming process.

Adding more power to a car that is targeted at a younger market, and that is already being "Drifted" on city streets would give nightmares to the ToyBaru legal team. I'm not saying that they won't do it, but they would need to see more of a market to justify the risk.

Good thread.

i wish it doesnt come with a touch screen, i hate that.

and hope the speaker were better, but it doesnt affect me much. i prefer ear the sound of my car.

Great post that is very pragmatic about the sports car market. Inexpensive, mainline sports cars that are this small can't be everything to everyone. Toyota and Subaru felt this segment was their best chance at making a fun car that wouldn't be a total sales flop. It isn't setting the world on fire sales wise now that we are 3 model years in, so being conservative about the number of models offered was probably a good idea.

Hm.

Exactly as much 2+2 as a 240Z or MGB-GT.
Those got the full designation.

Let's come together, stroke our ****s, and tell ourselves what a good decision we made by buying this car.
