i pretty much agree with everything else youve mentioned. Though, that raw feeling the car lacks can be brought back very easily with some minor and easy upgrades(motor/trans mounts, shifter bushings/short shifter, mtech clutch spring and shifter springs will all change how everything feels) for a modern car, its still definitely a lot more "raw" compared to other sporty cars on the market. |

That's emissions friendly throttle mapping. Not sure if you had your tuned or not but my stock 86 OG had just the same delay if you gunned it in neutral from idle. Mucho delay on the initial depress. I wouldn't be surprised if the flywheel is a touch lighter on the new gen (like the drive shaft has been), because it has a little bit more chatter to my ear. Hard to be sure, it is pretty much the same transmission outside of peening and a new toyota tranny oil formulation (as far as I know).

All the raw stuff on here is funny.
Its like all of a sudden superior suspension refinement to get even better road handling WHILE able to bottom out less is a negative? I mean making your car ride worse is probably the simplest thing you can possible do if you want to change your car. Add a tower strut for instance. The combination of a stiff chassis and better dampened and compliant suspension is only a GOOD thing. |

There was a time that being pursued by middle-aged cougars was the last thing on my agenda. Today, I'm pushing 72 and a cougar would be a woman skipping Majong and sneaking out of the retirement home looking for some fun. Attracting middle-aged women seems like something I might consider. I don't think of my car as a chick magnet, but you never know.

Then you want a gen 2. Defnitely not more numb. It "feels" quite a bit better. Steering feel is lighter but less is damped out. There is more "feel" despite it being lighter. Also more consistent from lock to lock. No dead spot slightly off center like in my '13. Finger tips and millimeters. The front end is also easier to place due to the increased stiffness and it is noticeable especially if you've owned highly stiff cars like an Evora or an RX8. Not like an S2K which has low torsional rigidity. That makes all 4 wheels do their job better, while providing greater precision and feel. Its a win/win for me The design brief looks like they weren't trying to appeal to a broader consumer base, they actually read all the true enthusiast's letters and responded in kind. My opinion anyways.

I hope that you still own your current car when you get to test drive the new one, its really great to have that back to back as you get a full experience and full feel for the changes. |

But without driving it near the limits, someone may mistakenly think the new car lost some steering feel because of the lightness. |
