How many Plan to get a GR86 as a weekend/track only car - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Just curious are most of you planning to get one as your daily driver or just another toy in the stable?

I might turn current my daily into a track car... Not sure if I want to smash up a brand new every week.

I'm wanting one but not quite ready to jump back into a finance deal. Mine is paid off.

Pending seeing it in person and test drive...

I plan on buying a new one to daily and...

putting an Edelbrock supercharger on the old one!

I might, but will probably wait for a year or two.

We have no idea about the reliability of the FA24
Don't necessarily want to be among the first to figure out things like oil cooling, etc.
Want a good deal on Brembos ~$1500 for PP was a steal.
It will take the local 86DC group a few years to gather enough 2nd gens to have good competition.
This year there's a lot of 1st gens competing in the Stock and Street classes, making those events really fun to participate in!

good points! I just miss being on the track with 3 pedals! Dont get me wrong, blasting down the straights with my V8 on full blast is amazing, but I miss the pure joy of technical driving. I've always liked the 1st gens but this new GR is more my style, love the subtle improvements they've made with the platform and excited for the future of where the 86 name plate is headed.

It's a Subaru. Of course it's not reliable

Sure, the question is how much

DriveDriftDogfight86 · 05-16-2021, 08:57 PM

I'd have to dodge the 2022's for a 2023...and in 2 years timeframe I feel like the C7 Corvette will be a great bargain, so I have that in first place for a next car.

Since the second generation is really growing on me, the wife and I decided to wait a few years, get the 2nd generation and keep it as a weekend toy/occasional track car.

Sasquachulator · 05-17-2021, 11:30 PM

I just got a first gen so nope.
Didn't want to wait for second gen either.

And in either case it was going to be a daily so not a weekend warrior or track only.

This. I feel pretty confident with the FA24 reliability in the Ascent, but we'll still have to see how it pans out. I'll wait for the Performance Pack car, as I will not have another dual duty car without Brembos. The ease of changing pads in like 5 minutes is just so powerful.

Two more points that matter to me:

-How the 22+ BRZ/86 will be classed in SCCA TT?

If it remains in S6/T4 then it will basically break time trials for a year. It will be utterly dominant in both if it remains how the old one was classed.

-How will the 22+ BRZ/86 respond to basic mods?

If the future car takes to E85/headers as well as the current one does, and we can net 220 whp I'd be a very happy customer.
