Any guesses on how much this GR86 will be? The Supra's $50k, so I'd guess around $35k-$37k. Not too bad considering a loaded s15 spec R was over $40k in today's dollars if I remember correctly.
..this might be the first time I've ever been excited about a new car |

current 86 starts off 27k and brz 29k. I think toyota/subaru will be taking a risk if they raise prices too much, so I'd go with 29k gr86, 31k new BRZ. Max pricing, 34k gr86 & 36k new BRZ.
you also figure the 86's closest competitor, the miata club convertible goes for right around 30k to 35k depending on if you want the brembos, bbs, recaros. So I doubt the gr86 would go significantly higher unless somehow Toyota makes the unfortunate decision to go 'upscale,' bloat the car with luxuries and tech. hell I'll be happy if the car doesn't get released as a crossover. The word coupe is pretty confusing by today's standards. Agreed it's exciting. Would be ecstatic if forced induction was confirmed. I blame the failure of the 240sx as a result of xenophobia, arrogance and closed mindedness. Not sure what the fuss is about the sr20det not being good. had one and it was fine for the most part and not noticeably worse than the ej25 (usdm sti) or 4b11 (evo x) that ive experienced. the ej25 does sound pretty great.

Yeah I agree that it no longer starts at less than $30 if they’re going this GR86 route and trying to market it as Supra’s little brother, which would a genius move for both the 86 and the Supra. Toyota IS dedicated to cars (they will NOT be abandoning sedans either) and making niche vehicles. They’re huge, they can and watch to make cars for enthusiasts. They aren’t maybe exactly as we’d want (I agree they should use their own engines) them but they exist and are pretty damn good.

Yeah but those are two different weapons serving 2 different purposes (sledge hammer vs katana). You can't deny the bang for the buck you get from the Mustang and Camaro but they are still totally different cars (compared to the brz/86).

3700lb Mustang GT with 435-460hp Vs. (I'm guessing) 28XXlb GR86 with (also guessing) 265-280hp. *Edit: spooled beat me to it. For the type of driving I like to do, I'd choose the GR86... Sure the Mustang GT will probably be one second quicker in the 1/4 mile (stock), but the person who buys a GR86 isn't going to care. A GR86 (turbo) with the Brembo package is going to be pretty enticing for me. |

Challenger is different, but the compact and light Camaro Turbo 4 is your spiritual successor to the S15. Hell, it even looks like one from certain angles. GR86 and Ecoboost Mustang will be direct competitors in Europe and in the magazines. Mustang is larger and heavier, that's good and bad. It means more interior space and better build quality. We've all heard the complaints about shitty materials, easily cracked and scratched glass, rattles etc from the Brfzr86s. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad we're getting a sequel and I hope it all the best. It's just going to lack that 90's styling and charm and I'm not going to give a shit. I bought a 500hp street/strip muscle car and I'm not about to change it up anytime soon. Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk |

It's truly impressive how quick a bolt on 18+ can be in the 1/4 mile.
The S15 Spec R ran 13.9 stock vs. the '17 Mustang GT doing 12.9/ 13, so that's what I roughly based the one second quicker of off. If I was into a "street/strip" type car it would definitely be one of these new American muscle cars. For me I'm just more into driving on narrow winding roads. Also, (imo) a true "spirited successor" to the S15 has to be:
The 2020 Camro LS is showing 3351lbs (that's AWD, or might as well have a V8 weight). Last edited by BryanSayWhat; 01-16-2020 at 01:42 PM.. |

2020 Nissan Frontier... Since it's basically from the 90's...
New cars are best appreciated for their solid luxury feel and comfort. A FRZB86 will never feel as raw and light as a AE86 or S13. But a Challenger Hellcat is going to be a billion times nicer to cruise in then a '93 Camaro. So I guess you just gotta love it for what it is I guess. I don't love the 86 the way it is more than I love cars it's supposed to emulate, the S13, FC, AMD 350Z. I love the new Challenger for what it is. It's not Vintage Mopar, but that's alright, because what makes it "not", still makes it fun. For the 86, what makes it "not an S15", doesn't make it fun, it just reminds me it's "not an S15". Does that make any sense? Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk |

[emoji849] Its 2020, average car is now pushing 4k lbs. Base Manual Turbo 4 is $25,000, weights 3,300lbs. 275hp That is damn light. The car is also small in person and is very sharp handling. The Silvia is the defacto Japanese Mustang.

Instead of "not an S15" it could of been it's own viable contender (being equal to, or better in performance). Quote:
Now if Ford, or Chevy put their motors in a sub 3000lb RWD car I'd be all in. The same would be said if they made a 3300-3400lb AWD sports car (it sucks Ford didn't further the Focus RS). |

If I had 35k to spend on a car right now it would definitely be a ND miata 30th anniversary convertible and no way it would be a mustang even if I could get a GT w performance pkg 2 for the same money. Issue with the camero are the dimensions. it's a huge car with a longer 110" wheelbase. that's not going to change even at 3300 lbs. There's still something cumbersome about the about the way it drives especially as a daily driver, and it's not going to drive the same way a lighter miata or 86. Only ever driven a NA miata & Z1LE so speculating here. I do think the turbo 1LE looks great on paper, along with the other 1LE cars. |

Hold the fucking phone...new Z is going to envoys the 240z!?
“They’re going back to the roots of the car,” https://www.autoblog.com/2020/01/16/...-nissan-z-car/ So is this going to be a Supra competitor at around $50k or is this slotted above a GR86 but below a Supra? In the like $40k range? I’m all about that shit. As long as it’s not just a rebadged Q60 that’s heavy af.

Or worse the 370Z? Remember all the retro throw back features in the 350Z and then they tried to make it even more Retro and it just looked like dogs ass (370Z)? The Z32 was a departure from super car styling and technology and a throw back to a simple 2 seat N/A Coupe, complete with retro center gauges, lift back trunk and corner headlights...

well i guess Nissan didnt build that "manual" option in the ECM in for nothing given all of its parameters allow for a manual transmission tune setup... not sure if any of you saw that manual tranny swap in the Q60 from Concept Z Performance, but im guessing that manual programming was in there for a reason
i cant find the exact video where the show the ECM toggle for it, but heres proof that a manual swap in the Q60 twin turbo can be done 100% functionally (and im not talking half ass, back yard ghetto 240sx swap shit) |

Agreed as far as looks. The problem with the Z car is it is in direct competition with the Pony cars.
I'm sure yall remember when the 350z launched it was faster than the Mustang of that year. The Mustang, Camaro are so far ahead of the 370z for less money.

The other problem is the number of people that can live day-to-day with a Mustang sized Coupe is exponentially larger then the people that can survive with a Miata. Nissan needs to do a Ford/Dodge and build the next Z35/R36 on the same chassis. Base Turbo 4 N/A V6 Turbo V6 RWD + Optional AWD GT-R being the stupid overbuilt GT500/RE/ZL1 fighter with a DCT AWD system instead of auto based one. Offer Sedan and Coupe, partner with Porsche for that 7spd DCT AWD transaxle, get with ZF for am 8spd Auto, continue using the CD09 based 6spd. Call the car.. Nissan Skyline Turbo (I4) GT (V6) Type-Z (turbo 6) GT-R Have a GTS-T with the performance parts from the Type-Z on a Turbo-4 and a GTX with the same on a V6. 28k I4 35k V6 48k V6TT 85k GTR Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk |

Good luck getting a gt500 at msrp $74k. Its already well over 90k with the track package so its realistically closer to a 85 to 100k car if not more. Seems to perform really well in a recent track test video against the Porsche GT3RS thats almost double in price.
