How is it not. The TRD Griffon is not powerful and neither is this limited production car, yet all the complaints about adding power. It has the functional aero to be faster, and people talking like they are just mere cosmetic enhancements... Spoken like a bunch of people who have never spent any significant time on a race track, and just to busy hard parking or stop light racing. Everything on this car is functional. |

You think a stock twin with tires is going to be faster than a twin with upgraded diff, coil overs, more aggressive gearing, lighter flywheel, magnesium forged wheels, upgraded tires, and aero? Or is all of that fluff? Interdasting.

And your's is biased to say the least. I really don't know why you bother to post your constant negativity here.
As for your assertion that a stock 86 with race tyres would be quicker than a 14R60 around the track, that is so deluded it is laughable. The 14R60 is cheap for what it is. The 14R60 will be quicker around any track than a stock 86 with race tyres due to it's weight, gearing, handling, brakes and electronics tweaks. The only negative points you could muster for the 14R60 would be that due to worse than standard fuel economy, noise, vibration and stiffness it would not make a good daily driver at all compared to the stock 86. |

If you post on a Forum specifically for a particular model of car and constantly run it down with uneducated comments what do you expect?

How is your assumption any more educated than mine?

Looking again at the shit--er, I mean aero sticking out of the car, I think it ought to be retractable, with a button in the car that you hit and yell "PURSUIT MODE!" to deploy. Like in the Knight Rider 1985 refit.
