I was gonna complain about my car being slow and a shitbox, but then I realized I sold the slow shitbox recently and bought pic related. How does it feel to not be driving a literal funcar because you're falling for the "not falling for the meme"-meme?

P.S.: Got myself Michelin Pilot Supersports for Christmas.

It's 4 am here, on Christmas, I'm drunk, and I have no bread at home. Gonna put the PSSs on after the winter, if I get caught with summer tires they take away my license.

No, no, don't move goal posts. He specifically said why do GT86 owners post here so often in an effort to justify their cars instead of just driving and enjoying it.

See, people that enjoy their cars don't have to defend them. People that convince themselves to like their cars project their insecurities in the form of defensiveness.

If I had to take a wild guess, the 86 is realistically one of the only "sports cars" most /o/tists can afford. They are kind of fun to drive. I used to own a Celica and it reminds me of it.
>>
>>16371677
i've been dd-ing one since almost 3 years, i've got no garage and the car sits outside all the time

Cons
- slippery as shit during freezing weather, no matter what tyres, and even at slow speeds DO NOT switch the traction control to sport
- sound deadning is horrible, started redoing the doors and trunk to eliminate this
- rust started to form at the exhaust bolts
- i would have preffered a larger trunk than 2 rear mostly unusable seats, though i have carried 4 multiple times

MPG is not issue, i'm getting like 11 liters/100km or 21mpg US mixed, highway regular speed is around 160-170kmh or 100mph.

Front end is chipped as hell, pic related
>>
>>16373098
cont'd

right now something that is pissing me the fuck off is that breaks are screeching immensely, i thought that initially that i cooked them doing shit in empty parking lots but its not the case, i've got plenty of meat on them, but the rotors have oxidation on outer rim and its falls between the rotor and pads and makes a horrible noise. I'll probably look into eliminating this next fall during the anual service if i don't sell the car until then (right now i don't intend doing that).

Since i'm using it as a DD i'm not a stupid faggot to lower it or mount 19-20 inch rims to fuck the comfort level up. I still use 17" rims and started using 225/55 instead of the factory 215/45 tyres, and it a noticeably more comfortable. The only 'mod' was using a K&N air filter which i highly recommend.

Same here, if you arent using the correct tires for the conditions you lose your drivers license, even if it snows in july or whatever youre required to change your tires before you drive.
>>
>>16371999
Those tires will absolutely kill the handling and feel of the car. They will make it feel (even) slower and be too grippy for the suspension. Even at 300hp they would be too much.
You buy a car whose one redeeming quality is it's handling and ability to kick the back out at 30 mph and the first thing you do is take that away?

the stock build is for having a slow car that can kick out the rear end at legal speeds.

You do understand it's not just snow? It's snow gravel, shitload of salt, chunks of ice and sand.
Every time you drive in it you get home and your car is covered with a thick layer of sandpaper like mud and soot.

Every time I go head to head with someone on a snowy track, the car in the rear gets hit constantly with flying debris, ice, sand and shit.
>>
>>16373579
I bought it with the Prius tires on it and it was useless in the rain. The rear stepped out if I wanted or not. It's fun for a while, but being unable to corner at speed is retarded. I'm fairly confident I can kick any street tires loose with this car. You'll have to explain how adding grippy rubber to the ridiculously good mechanical grip could be detrimental to handling.
>>

When I had my prius I used to spin the tires all the time in the rain. Even with that shitty 110hp those tires spin hard from a stop

nah you'll be fine. I live in literal bandit territory though, so no cops here AT ALL. never driven past a control ever in my 8 years of having a license, and you never see any cops on the road either.

>>16374120

only if you buy american, which is why american cars are practically nonexistent here. everything else will hold up nicely if you wash it off every now and then.
>>
>>16374128
are you sure that's not just a consumer perception?

these days, ive noticed that the brand matters much less than the previous owner of the car.

I really feel like american auto has caught up to import in many ways, models like the chevy malibu, ford fusion, buick la crosse, some cadillacs (too bad theyre ugly) really give imports a run for their money.

>>16374151

its to give an idea of the prices. although its surprisingly much cheaper than it is up here.

in europe we make more money, and our cars are more expensive. 30k euro for an entry level sports car is exactly what these cars have always cost.
>>
>>16374148
Not him, but burger cars got better in the last 15 years.
The problem is, most of them still can´t handle full speed for a extended period of time and need a high amount of fuel.
Also their specific output is usually low, wich gives you tax disatvantages.
If you now say something about 1.0 L ecoboost, these engines where developed in Köln, germany.
Also burger cars are more expensive here than in burgerland and european cars are cheaper here than in burgerland..

that's bizarre. when I used to be in larvik I saw cops all the goddamn time.

last time I was stopped by cops here was about 6 years ago, and that was only an alcohol check on new years.

have they made any remarks about your invidia exhaust yet? personally I'm sort of in shit if some dickwad with a grudge against modified car catches me. im pushing 160dB at 3750rpm now. vogknort says 72dB lol.
