Sorry gt86 is not a successor to ae86. Dont be fooled. Its not even named a trueno or Levin. Its more Subaru really.

Stock to stock, it will NOT out run or out power a megane or gti. There are no souped up versions as well, except tuner versions. I have an inkling that an FD2R will out run it too. But ppl owning and online will always tell you that car is about driving enjoyment. But sorry la, I do not subscribe to the idea of being smoked front, back, left and right by everything cheaper and older than it.

You got to love it as it is.

This car IS targeted as modders car! Look at Option Malaysia mag. Since first issue there is no less than 10 pages of mod parts and sample cars for it. Its the same still now. At kinokuniya, the pages of gt86/brz are the same. Its the same with us & UK magazines. You gotta ask why so many options? Because the car is smoked by everything else. Those who love it says its Japanese way. In Uk got Cosworth Stage 1 kit for it. In japan even more. Actually i have never seen so many tuning parts for any Toyota like the GT86. Its almost like the Honda Civic.

I saw a white record one at a car shop along Jln Pudu. Before anyone start saying i hate GT86. I don't really hate it. But i will tell you what i dislike about it.

- Its not a true toyota product
- Its not an correct AE86 replacement
- Its not priced correctly in Malaysia
- Too many FR fanboys who glorify its platform but deny its not faster than most FF hatches

Those are my main grouse really.
