I call dibs on the white mr2 at leng's house.

SE-RMR2 · 10-06-2009, 01:06 PM

If it's at my house already then dibs to me first... OR Seth can just have his bro buy my house and he wouldn't need to tow it... LOL

mr2greasemonkey · 10-06-2009, 02:08 PM

I've been told it's not for sale, but how can you sell it without a title anyways...

Toyko 2009 Preview: Toyota FT-86 Concept brings back the Hachi-Roku — Autoblog

I don't think the 2.0L boxer is sold in the states and the current 2.5L puts out ~170HP I believe.

Interesting to be sure.

A few quick numbers as my guess on the car:
370z: 3278lbs / 332 hp = 9.873
Camaro SS: 3849 / 426 = 9.03

The AE-86 weighed in at 1950 lbs - 2075lbs.
So like the Z, I'll pick a middle weight: 2015.
Add a few hundy for new 'safety' features: 2315.
Current gen 2.5L boxer = 170hp.

So maybe:
FT-86: 2315 / 170 = 13.61

Now if they slapped a turbo 2.5, or a STi 2.5L Turbo, or even an H6:
Current 2.5L Turbo = 2415* / 265 = 9.11
Current STi Turbo: 2415* / 305 = 7.91
Current H6: 2415* / 256 = 9.43
* = More weight for extra engine bits.

I, personally, agree with the no replacement for displacement.
I would love to see an FT-86 /w an H6 + turbo.

Pricing:
Camaro SS: 35,000$
370Z Touring /w Sport: 37,500$
FT-86: "After the FT-86 bows in concept form at the Tokyo Motor Show next month, the production model will be shown sometime next year with sales beginning sometime in late 2011 carrying a sticker price somewhere north of $20,000."

Interesting....I'm just finishing an engine R&R in a WRX. Styling is so so, but seems like it should be a good platform.

vr4 · 10-06-2009, 10:40 PM
