This isn't a car I would buy brand new like I did with mine though.

I'm looking forward to the TRD version of the gt86.
which do you think will be better, that or the top notch Subaru variant?
 
Idk, but after hearing that a mechanical diff will be an option with the gt86 my opinions have swayed greatly.

There's a fantastic review of the gt86 on YT, I can't post the video with my iPad but just type in - Chris Harris on cars Gt86
 
Literally bigger than the simpsons :p

I'd spotted that earlier. Gotta love Chris!
 
Phoar. Do want

Talking to Auto Express at the launch of the new rear-wheel drive coupe, global marketing manager Atoshi Atake, said: "We have already had many requests from interested customers regarding a faster version. Let me say this - we will certainly satisfy our customers. We are already working on a faster version."

The new range-topping model is expected to take inspiration from the STI concept revealed at the 2011 Los Angeles Motor Show. Under the bonnet will be a more powerful version of the 197bhp 2.0-litre flat-four cylinder 'boxer' from the standard car.

It is likely to produce around 250bhp. "We can definitely develop the intake system," Atake said. "There is certainly room for improvement there." In addition, there is likely to be a freer-flowing exhaust and modifications to the engine's variable valve control system, along with an even higher rev limit of around 7,500rpm.

Subaru says that it will not turbocharge the engine as there is no space at the front of the engine bay for an intercooler. "Plus, we want to keep turbocharging separate. It is for models like the WRX STI," said Atake. "The same goes for four-wheel drive. We could not make the BRZ four-wheel drive even if we wanted to." He also said that supercharging had been dismissed because it would make the BRZ too heavy on fuel.

As well as more power, the BRZ STI is set to weigh even less than the 1,250kg standard car, thanks to racing bucket seats and potentially a carbonfibre roof and bonnet, which will further help to lower the car's centre of gravity. Other tweaks will include a dramatic bodykit, stiffened and lowered suspension, lighter but larger 18-inch alloy wheels and upgraded brakes.
 
I don't like it slammed at all!

The refreshing thing about this is skinny tyres, rwd and driving pleasure above straight line stats etc. Fun. Almost affordable too
 
This was at my work.. not sure if this was actually allowed to be recorded by his own cellphone.

Huh? how am I a bandwagon jumper?

Fook, that was a delayed response :lol:
I wasn't calling you a bandwagon jumper. Well, not specifically.

Can't help but feel the hellaflush, low and slow club has gone viral due to bandwagon jumpers.

I was not intending to insult, offend anyone.
Style is but a matter of opinion and hellaflush don't do anything for me :)
 
Seem to remember someone was waiting for the convertible version....
