FT-86, Who's actually going to buy one?

[LittleRedSpirit]

If it has an inline 4 cylinder toyota engine with a Yamaha lineage head, that screams like a motorbike. Otherwise no.

Why all the hate for subaru engines? They're more than capable of making good power reliably and sound fine as long as you run an equal length exhaust manifold.

and the boxer in it is tuned by yamaha anyway. its gonna rev like a motorbike

I think there is too much speculation at the moment. Within 6 months of its release we'll know what the car is capable of and what direction it will head in terms of after market performance.

It'll be interesting to say the least.

will probably get one but not if its over 40k...if it is over 40k, i'd probably go for an evo 9 or something...

[Vance]

well they said they were chasing down a lfa in a ft86 so it must go pretty good. im expecting great things but im also expecting 50-70k

[RolandGTV85]

My mechanic who has contacts in toyota says 35-45 depending on the model. ive always found him reliable with this sorta info.... i hope so anyway

[Vance]

everything ive been hearing from toyota is that it will be priced against the mx5

[johl]

i cant see it being more expensive than the base model wrx, so i would think sub 40k

I won't get one like most ppl I can't get past the boxer engine. Soon as you get an exhaust everyone is going to think you are in a sex spec rexy.

My mate had a Liberty EJ25, just normal driving wrapped the heads and it was pretty much gone from there. While I drove his car once, absolutely needed a car, never got that rush, or that smile that spreads across your face when you are in your hachi with your foot to the floor. It didn't rev very quickly, still a very nice car but no were near as fun as my hachi.

The FT86 is a dead sexy car but. I guess I keep looking at this as a updated AE86 when I should look at it as a completely new car, but I just can't look past the boxer engine.
