Take the PS4 tires off the GR and put them on the standard BRZ/FRS/86 and you already have a dramatically more track ready car. The OEM tires on the twins suck on a whole new level.

The real advantage it has though are all those GR badges. I read that each badge drops your laptime 2secs.

I took the round "86" badges off of mine, 42 mpg and 172 mph top speed now, but I did lose all the downforce they provided.

All these "special editions" that aren't so special are special.

You cared enough to post, must not be that inane. Perhaps if Toyota brought us an actual improvement instead of stick-on shit the conversation would be more interesting to you.

Oh, it is inane. You’ve rambled on about how you hate the aggressive looks since you joined. The inane rambling about why don’t these Japan only special editions have a turbo have been going on since the first Japan only special edition.

How do you feel about arm rests? I find complaining about inanity to be inane. Did I tell you I think the front end of the 86 is ugly? How inane is that?

Similar to my key being stollen I guess.

Or function how the Apple Watch does where it has wrist detection and if it is removed from your wrist it is locked and requires a password to be unlocked. If someone wants to unlock doors with your watch they would need to cut your arm off so the watch would never leave your wrist.

Lmao. They all seem to be really depressed/mad about something they don't have to buy or ever want, as if they are being forced into it.

Some just love to complain for the fun of it I guess.

Honestly, it's not even that aggressive in terms of add-ons. The lip and rear spoiler are pretty subtle. The issue is trying to build off the Kouki 86 bumper which is overly aggressive in nature. At least it doesn't have a massive spoiler like the tS.

Overall, I think the car looks great. I wonder how hard it will be for people to get a hold of the revised front badge?

Maybe it's the one off the 2017 Toyota Corolla?
