    Gt86 wow

    So just got back from my test drive of the GT86 and what a car. Not much power but the handling is amazing. With the VSC turned on you can take a bend at any speed.

    My only dilemma is what colour to go for. Pearl white or Dark Drey to match the R32 GTR:-





    Ignore the gash sticker pack its awful:-





    I test drove the black one but went to see Dark Grey in the flesh:-







    Boom

    Heard that earlier too, no idea of spec.
    Going by how everyone raves about the handling, a twincharged one (so instant full boost, great torque at all rpm) would be an absolute dream to drive.

    Gonna be a great base for tuning, so a winner whatever you get.

    Think they look Gash in standard form. The rocket bunny one is what dreams are made of though!

    Think they look pretty crap with possibly the worst alloys fitted on a sports car they just look like cheap wolfrace alloys! They are ment to be great to drive though!

    Still waiting for my test drive date, hoping it wont be too long no, Just wanna see if it lives upto the hype tbh!
    Agree with the shit stock wheels comment, and the arch gaps pretty hideous, but it's worth a go

    Neil tap up Toyota Reading and Bracknell they both have test drives.

    Not fussed about the alloys they will be getting changed and in the flesh arent so bad.

    White or Grey is the question though

    Was at the Toyota showroom today saw one and read the brochure not too impressed with the performance figures and the look, the base is there to make it awesome but would wait to see if they bring out a better version but if you was to get one now though go for the white it's beautiful in the sun almost painted my mr2 that white but went with the gtr white qab =D

    Pearl white i think if i went for an option, the blues's quite nice but everyone would instantly say Subaru as most of them are bound to be some shade of sonic blue. Grey looks good on older cars,but is a bit boring on newer ones Imo.
    I'm booked up at inchscape oxford mate, plus i know the roads hehe

    Go for grey mate! That way in 5 years time when it comes to sale time and the 'white fad' is long gone you'll have no problem selling it!

    Greyyy, it's more subtle, still a very nice colour, it doesn't say look at me in my gt86 but people in the know will still be able to look and appreciate it, plus as said above white cars kind of come into 'fashion' every so many years so if you do come to sell in in a few years time grey might be easier to sell. I expect to see pictures of it at pod if you do get one though
    Having fun, that's what Drifting is all about, keep it that way.

    Sat in one at Goodwood last week and its a very nice place to be, quality feel to the interior and the seats are really comfy and supportive, still not convinced i'd buy one though as for 2/3k more you can buy a 370z.

    Looking forward to testing one of these too, although I'm tempted to wait a bit and see what "hot" versions come out/get announced..
