props for the translation...I'm latino but I love japanese culture and wish I could understand it. I use to watch a lot of anime when i was younger and always had to find the ones with subtitles.
Thanks! |

I'm not really all that surprised at Tsuchiya's response. Basically I take what he says as 'If its going to bear the 86's name then it has to be competitive with cars of its time.' Sort of a pride aspect. The 86 back in the early-mid-late 80's was a car that could compete with the technology of the time. Turbo engines weren't as refined as they are now, and the 4A-GE (mated with the lightweight AE86 chassis) could hold its own against comparable japanese cars. Well, times have changed, and to be competitive with cars in the market it sort of needs to be turbo.
Thats what I take away from it. It doesn't change the fact that I want my FT to have a high redline, free revving, peppy N/A engine. Of course time will tell....when it comes to the day where I test drive one, and if we get a turbo option in the U.S., you never know...might be tempted to just get the turbo. If Toyota has a trim model thats N/A and the engine is just a 'base' engine, with no performance tuning and engineering in mind, then basically the turbo option, in my eyes, would be the only real 'performance' FT. Its a concern a lot of AE86 owners are worried about. Will the FT-86 have its 'SR-5' and its 'GT-S'? The two are very similar in many ways, but the most important ways, were very very very different. An SR-5 feels nothing like a GT-S, and isn't even close to being as fun. Will the FT-86 have the same treatment? A garbage N/A model and its super-fun bigger turbo brother? So many questions! |
