Littleguy Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 it's when you add a 2ZZ that the car really becomes something worth mentioning. Exactly. Mine was a 6-speed with a 2zz revving to 8450rpm. :fuckyeah: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 I think the reason why it evokes such a negative reaction is because it takes the comfortable and easily quantifiable philosophy of "Bigger with More Power is better" and tosses it out the window. "Power" and "Fun" are not synonymous with this car and that confuses people. That certainlt isnt why i dislike it. Not that it matters, it could be perfect, and i wouldnt fit in it.

92Supra Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Supposedly we are getting the Scion and Japan is getting the FT-86. Similar to how we got the SC300 and Japan got the Soarer. Also read that the body lines for the Scion have been changed slightly from the FT-86 to make it more appealing to the younger generation. They always seem to end up getting the better half, most of the time that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost1647545489 Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 the scion version was suppose to be a detuned version of the subaru as far as suspension not sure if power was the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco-REX Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 They always seem to end up getting the better half, most of the time that is. It comes down to options, but really the difference between the GT-86 and FR-S is some badges and mandated safety equipment. the scion version was suppose to be a detuned version of the subaru as far as suspension not sure if power was the same. It's tuned differently, suspension-wise. The Subaru gets a bit more understeer at corner entry whereas the FR-S is supposed to be a bit more neutral. The end result is looking like, with good tires, the Subaru will be more stable and grippy in the turns, and the FR-S will be more drift oriented. But the difference is in the springs and struts. So any aftermarket springs/dampers will eliminate the differences in handling between the cars. So the issue is pretty moot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg1647545532 Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 200hp is not acceptable in any car... Just saying Yeah, it's a bit much. Almost cheating, I'd say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verse Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 how does one drift if one cannot break the tires loose? Many different ways. The AE86 has less than 100 RWHP from the factory and plenty of people know how to work it. Mine had 58 RWHP and I did just fine with it. I've driven plenty of cars, but they are by far the funnest.

Draco-REX Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 how does one drift if one cannot break the tires loose? Plenty of ways. Especially considering that I put my cars into a slide while off-throttle and don't use the e-brake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RX-7 Addict Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Scion/Toyota rep Detroit NA Auto Show said this car is the replacement for the Supra. Couldn't help but laugh in his face. I asked at the Subaru stand (in Detroit) when they're coming out with a turbo edition with a hint of power. The guy at the Subaru stand said "it doesn't need to be fast, it can handle" . I said I didn't realize they were mutually exclusive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorne Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 I dunno but it sure is ugly. I like it cause it's turbo, hate it cause it's ugly. Most people don't care if it's turbo or not, so I bet people would go with the Z instead. Turbo are you high? there's no turbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
