AWESUM. is it me or does the ride height look lower on euro spec models??

switchlanez · 03-21-2012, 04:23 AM

^Yeah the wheel gap looks pretty even and better than what I remember seeing of US models. The suspension might have been modified for show?

It's so flattering to see this car holding a spot alongside such great sports cars. Makes you forget the phrase "budget sports car." The car isn't even out yet... I hope it's not exceeding itself.

The car looks extra aggressive in these pics, man i am going to love this car, i hope it becomes a well respected car in the automotive world,

I think even the supercar guys appreciate a car that it purely devoted to the driving experience

I'm thinking the same thing. Possibly modified the suspension. That's what it seems to me.

Not just holding a spot, but looking like it belongs there. With wheels and a drop this thing could pass for seriously high end machinery.

Hey Toyota... How about you drop a leftover testbed LFA V10 into the 86 for shits n giggles yeah?

Huge amount of grip? I thought the whole point was not to have too much grip.

I think it means that GT86 has good mechanical grip (suspension,LSD,weight distribution?), although it doesn't have high grip tires. According to Chris Harris GT86 is quite challenging car to drift!

if the GT86 is there then i might go this year - would be silly not to considering i work for the sponsor ^^

edit: steering wheel is on the wrong side on both cars!!! wtf
