Won't be once people actually drive it.

 

Your age and ignorance go hand in hand. If it was really that terrible, then why are all these independent firms fully modifying them already? Don't you think word would have gotten out by now? You have FI, aero, and engine swaps happening before the car has even hit U.S. shores. Name another car that has had this kind of aftermarket support before its release.

 

lol... people love to argue and call names over a product.

 

Who's calling names? Ignorance is a state of not knowing which an alarming amount of people seem to be in sadly. Not specifically about this topic but in general.

 

Ignorance is when you don't know. Stupid is when you are presented with the facts and you still carry on with the same position on the subject matter.

Power is not everything. I know this from experience at the track. Depending on the situation, being fast has many meanings.

Cool video, i bet the iQ could do it better though with its even tighter turning radius. Perhaps you should buy that instead

 

Yay for you.

 

I like the IQ, especially with the 5AD kit on it. But an IQ can't do this...

 

If you want to see ignorance, go to ft86gay. I laugh at all the people saying power isn't everything. But those same people will end up doing power mods, either bolt ons, turbo, or straight up engine swap. LOLz! Horay for ignorant double standards. Like I said before, excuse car.

What's funny is I made a thread on ft86gay asking to see LSX swaps in this car. All the ricers got mad and starting saying how the car didn't need power and that power to weight ratio is all that matters for cornering. I don't think those ricers know what LSX engines are, if they did then they'll do the power to weight ratio would be thru the roof... so I got banned for just asking to see a real engine swap. I guess those are just the types of "enthusiasts" who buy this car.

BTW Travie, you like using V8 swaps in this car to prove a point, but that proven point contradicts another "point" that you mention. LOLz.

 

With you and the other 2 here, I think we're good.

What car in this segment hasn't been swapped or boosted? Considering most are factory N/A and under 300hp.

Don't hype this car up to be something it's not bro. It's not a Supra. Just Toyota's Miata. I swear you're on this car's huevos worse than the people who like it.

 

The two 86's above, Orido's is the black one with the Lexus ISF V8 and Hibino drives the White and black Up Garage GT86 (Hibino's is not V8, but Twin Turbo'ed). Those guys are D1 drivers, so Japan only for those that are not aware.

Then there is Ken Gushi's Formula D FR-S. He made it to the Semi-Finals in the first round (cars debut). Very nice finish for the first time being out in it. I can imagine a lot of pressure on his shoulders to perform well.

The Both of them are on my ignore list for a reason. I don't even see their post anymore.

 

Found this video of Hibino testing his GT86 Twin Turbo. The first 8:00 is of the Up Garage AE86 turbo. Then after that is Hibino in the GT86 Twin Turbo. The GT86 sounds so much better than Oridio's V8...damn

Edit...

Correction, Hibino's is a single turbo setup Ej25 Cosworth like Ken Gushi's.

Only people hyping this car are the ones who like it and give excuses for it.

 

Formula D round 2 is just around the corner. I will be going down for the event and hang with Ken a little. Gets some pics of the car too and post up.

 

And what do you drive? A lot of us here have been faster than you EVER will. You are so worried about what this car can or cant do, but I dont seeing you rush out to drop 30k on a car any time soon. Enjoy your cavalier or whatever you have.

 

When you quote him, you effectively bypass the ignore_list on SL and thus I have to visually see what the Troll wrote. If you don't quote him, then his message is blocked (at least on my end...lol) Just don't even bother quoting him or responding.

Don't feed the Trolls.

 

Yeah I am going to add him to the ignore list too now, good idea.

 

Peep This one!

He's probably mad because he can't afford it. To make himself feel better he has to make the car seem like it's terrible. If what he drives is so great, he wouldn't be afraid to show it. That and people that have graduated to real performance cars usually aren't as immature and unable to grasp simple concepts, at least from my experience.
