Dan_Turism0 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 there's loads of turbo kits popping up in the states people getting 400whp on the stock engine with impressive levels of torque too....imo this is going to be a future tuner platform if it's not already [video=youtube;oLP-HCcX9as] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendo11 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 People in the states and Asia are going mental for how tuneable these are, pretty sure it was one of THE cars at sema 2013. But comparing it with a Supra? You crazy???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I think a TT new was around 40k and the NA was about 30k iirc. About £42k for an auto and £43k for a manual UK spec judging by the price list I have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I love the Rocket Bunny kits for the GT-86. Another couple of years for prices to drop and I think I might buy one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott87 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I love the Rocket Bunny kits for the GT-86. Another couple of years for prices to drop and I think I might buy one. They are already sold at a loss so unless you buy used i doubt the new price will fall much at all.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkey76364 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Sounds really good in that video. I have to say I like the look if it, hunk it's nice and very open to modifications Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 They are already sold at a loss so unless you buy used i doubt the new price will fall much at all.. I wouldn't buy a new car. I also highly doubt they are sold at a loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott87 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I wouldn't buy a new car. I also highly doubt they are sold at a loss. Thats what i was told by my mate who works for Toyota, but you're right it is a bit doubtful! Yer i wouldn't buy a new car either, that drop the moment you leave the showroom!!!

Pete Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I'm more interested in what the BMW/Toyota alliance will produce. I wouldn't buy a new car. I also highly doubt they are sold at a loss. They appear to be holding their values quite well. I test drove one and have to say it was great fun. Not a Supra swap, but I'd certainly consider it a swap for the Tiger.

Fly Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 always are rumors. I love the look of the rocket bunny GT86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulley Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 That's just a Photoshop. I don't get the point of these threads. It was never intended to replace the Supra so why would you bother comparing the two. Are you referring to a Lichfield BRZ? Same as , the kraftwerks setup , almost identicle, using rotrex sc I originally drove a prototype rotrex setup that was a garden shed prototype Just so happened to look identicle to litchfields offering (only so many ways to skin a cat) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Q Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 quite similar performance wise (a to b that is) to an NA soop in stock form. its a bit unfair as my soop is an early one, 20 years old so many parts will be worn- and many ponies escaped I imagine- but stock spec I didn't stand a chance (my driving skills also don't help) against the GT86 when it was first released. however, now I have a few handling mods I'm mixing it in with stock GT86's at sprint events. I was up against eleven (in class- there were 2 turbo ones too) of the bu66ers at blyton park last year, I managed to scalp 6 of them- so just over half! to be fair, most if not all of those drivers were novices though it just puts a smile on my face when I think I paid 10% of the list price of a new GT86. ok I've had to spend more since but I still like to think that To summarise I absolutely love the GT86- its no soop, totally different character of car, but I love them for what they are. Just my 2P and that orange one above- wow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
