Thread: Toyota FT-86 / Subaru BRZ: Japanese (not Siamese) Twins

Thanks for that vid. Loved the way it sounded!

Ya, I want one!!! Looks like a very fun car!

There is a whole article on that drive and his take on it. It was funny reading it because the guy testing spent his whole first drive in it and could have been his only drive in it not knowing how to dissable the stability system. He pressed the traction control button which dissables the traction control but not the stability system. So he went 3 laps not being able to get the car sideways at all and was dissapointed. Then later told the obvious and this isnt just because i worked at a toyota dealer but it applies to toyotas, GM's, Nissans, Honda and many other makes of cars. Its pretty common knowledge you have to hold the traction control button down for several seconds to dissable both the traction control and stability system.

I just couldnt help thinking, retard, and hes "tested" many vehicles over the 20 years and he didnt know this common bit of knowledge.

Here is the article:
DRIVEN – THE NEW TOYOTA 86 : 7Tune.com


Overall I like the look of both the outside and inside. Im sure with some mods to come its gonna have alot of potential to be even more fun than it already is by the reviews. Hopefully it sells well and Nissan can get off its ass and bring the S16 out and here to the states.

I think the old concept FT86 looks better.

Here's the GT300 version of the BRZ.

I wonder if that video has been posted in the thread dedicated to the Subaru BRZ where it belongs? Because if not, I should really go post it over there, where it belongs.

...

Wouldn't it be easier to merge all these threads into one consolidated Subyota/toyobaru thread?

Does it really even matter? Same car, different badge.
