Why does the 86 GT get so much hate?

>>17257477
and its ugly as fuck

>>17257480
But it isn't, it's a breathe of fresh air compared to all the pigfat cars releasing today.

>>17257477

>boxer engine made out of glass

If it had a traditional 4 cylinder and didn't have fuck high compression it would be a great car.

Because the reason the GT86 is constantly said it's slow is because it's just a dumb meme made by people whomhave never driven it so instantly implying it's bad everywhere else

Pretty much.

It's the same problem that plagued pic related. It looks the part, but it has none of the performance of its predecessors backing up those looks. So it's shit. Hell, I'm surprised Toyota even bothered to make the GT86 RWD when it probably still would have sold as a FWD.

>Why does the GT86 get so much hate

It's probably because no one on /o/ spends time on roads where handling supercedes power.

Also, they don't realize that anything under 650hp is just child's play.

>>boxer engine made out of glass
[citation needed]

It has been in the top 10 production engines 3 out of the last 4 years.

>>17257486
Still it's faster than the top of the line track ready Miata despite Prius tires.

>>17257524

For the same reason they'd make a sleek, aesthetic looking sporty coupe in the "spirit" of the AE86.

For the same reason Mitsubishi would make a non-turbo FWD-only Eclipse in the "spirit" of a car whose highest trim variant was always known for its Turbo AWD.

Both gt86 & ae86 are fun as hell in the rain where they feel like they have a thousand horsepower!

>>17257532
No one cares if it is competitive with a Miata. I'd like it to be competitive with the Ecoboost Mustang before considering it.

>>17257542

>competitive

oh for your 10-70 rollzz brahh?

sheeitt dudeee, gt86 ain't got no power on the straights, fuuuucckkkk

mustang doh, mustang got dat power for your boring fucking commute to work and back

go drive on some real roads, loser.

>>17257477
Because /o/ can't afford one, so they pick it to pieces to make themselves feel better.

>>17257548

and because they don't actually live near the tooj

i do live near the tooj, and i'd love a GT86.

I like the nu-86 for what it is,but still wish it had more power.

Why buy it when I could buy one of many cars from the '90s (two decades ago) that both handle better and are faster around corners as well as in a straight line, and pay $10,000 less for one of those 90s shitboxes as you may for even a used nu-86?

I'll take more fun for less money every time, I need a reason to buy the nu-86 if you want me to buy it. If I can just buy an FD or something and 200k+ miles worth of engine rebuild with the savings from not having bought an 86, why should I not do that?

Because cars from the 90's are old, if somebody was buying a new RX-7 back in the 1990's, they would be saying the same thing about more powerful cars from the 80's.

>>17257582
More powerful cars of the 80s probably wouldn't have been in the same market, let alone significantly cheaper than a new-RX-7 at the time as the FD is cheaper than an 86 now. One does not simply acquire a testarossa for less than $20,000 and expect it to run.

>>17257612
>>17257619
No that's accurate. That's just about the consensus from everyone that's boosted an 86. Youll throw a rod out the bottom with more than 8-10psi. The engine won't output more than 550. Get a built block and you can put 400 to the wheels without much worry.

>>17257690

What's the point of boosting an 86 to anything more than 300 horsepower, you might as well not have bought the car.

>>17257612
Plenty of otherwise stock 86's are running 500whp thanks to nothing but boost. Go back to Redit.

>inb4 Toyobaru defence league/86 shill/buyers remorse

i don't have one but considering it for my next car.

I would take a gt86 over a civic, camry, or altima any day of the week

I was under the impression that an enthusiasts car would entail
>RWD
>simple body design for cheap replacement parts
>ergonomic engine bay for easy wrenching and swaps
>roomy inside with simplistic dash
>money saved on normie gimmicks put into the engine

The only people who don't like the GT86 are benchracing Miata owners.

I'll just settle for a normal engine that you can actually get more than an extra 40 hp out of without bringing it to its knees.

>>17258051

He specifically mentions availability, not price, as the issue.

Where I live, gas stations stop at 91 octane for premium, only very few have 93 super premium. Its usually 87 89 91.

>>17258039

>nu86 runs on premium fuel (which a lot of gas stations don't even have 93 American Octane) for its underwhelming 200hp otherwise it knocks

Don't blame the car for america's lack of premium fuel. RON98/AKI93 is available pretty much everywhere. Even fucking mexico has higher octane rated premium than you.

5 F L
0 A D

>>17258071
That's why you fuel up at legit gas stations idiot

>>17257582
So buy a 350Z/G35 for $8-10k and get suspension mods after you can't set any better times at autoX/track days

It's also a high compression engine that can't be safely boosted without a build that costs as much as the car, but unlike the 86, it's powerful out of the box.

>>17258071
Brotip: You can go to an airport and get 100 octane with that delicious knock preventing tetraethyl lead. Even the middle of nowhere should have an airport with fuel fairly close by.

That's a fair question, OP.

It seems as if people here on /o/ don't know how to appreciate nice low powered cars.

They keep talking shit about the Toyobaru/Miata despite them having great chassis and proper pedigree.

Whether this is because we're dealing with teenager bench-racers, trolls, stuck up arseholes or genuinelly contrarian people I don't know.

Kek, I remember a thread about the Honda s660 a while back where some were saying that 'I don't care that it's a targa, mid engined, rwd car, it's not a sports car with less than x bhp'.

So yeah, it pays to know who you're dealing with.

Because you are paying over 20k for a car that is slower than every sports coupe in its class. And just a little faster than an average sedan like an accord or altima.

gt86 in my opinion is a perfect car
i dont see it as a successor to the ae86 at all tho thats just toyota trying to be down with the kids

yes its slow but that makes it cheap to ensure
the engine isnt pushing its self so its reliable
its a well known again reliable subaru engine with lots of aftermarket so if you want faster you can make it faster easily

its designed and aimed at retarded kids who wanna be takumi so lower power is much better for them to learn with

even with the low power it still slides like the kids like

looks great and has a less agressive looking version with a subaru badge if you want to be a bit more grown up

its practical for a car like this

its safe and modern for a car like this

it was realeased and designed so it would one day replace the old boys like the miata and the s13 as the standard drift car

everything about it is perfect for teenagers who want to learn to drift and race and shit

and perfect for people who want to build a proper racecar or just have somthing to have fun with

its the perfect car

you know I really hate the fake oversized grills manufacturers are doing now

but this just looks weird, maybe I'll just have to accept the fake grills

I like to enjoy cars at their limits, I don't feel comfortable pushing a 40 year old Toyota econobox on some tight turns

Almost nobody on this board was alive when the AE86 was sold. It's popular because its the Initial D meme car. Most of them have never been in one, let alone seen one on the streets.

And because this board is full of poorfags who drive $3k Civics or borrow their moms' Camrys, none of them can afford a GT86. Or they're Americans where the be-all-end-all of a car's worth is how fast it takes off at the stoplights, in which you can get a V6 "muscle" car for the same price and with better drag racing prowess.

>>17260449
Do you assume everyone who understands what the car is about is not an American?

>>17258459
My fucking sides, I always wondered why they couldn't out pace my 06 manual shitbox box they have as much torque as a fucking yaris and literally 3 more hp than my shit box

Angry headlights are just with the times, just like the original 86 had popup headlights, nothing wrong with it.

>>17262527
basically /o/ is still living in the 90s

>>17262553
Because that's the newest that the people who actually have cars here can afford

>>17262513
I bet is faster than gt86

I'm going to get a BRZ in a year or so.

Hopefully I can find a decent 2016 or '17 used by then.

>>17262553
The 90s was the pinnacle for Jap sports cars. It has nothing to do with price, what with rice tax and shipping fees as well as insurance.

The only semi-valid complaint one could make about the GT86 is that it's no better than a bottom trim S-chassis stock, despite being almost two decades newer. And even then it has always been the expectation of Jap manufacturers that the owner would make the sports car better themselves. It's a blank canvas to be improved upon.

if it had pop-up headlights this wouldn't even be a discussion

>>17257554
Because most people don't want to buy a car with 2 decades of farts accumulated in the drivers seat.

>>17262809
Just have the seats replaced.

pilots find one of these is more fun than the others, can you guess which?

>>17257477
>Why does the 86 GT get so much hate?
because most people on /o/ haven't driven it or anything and they think cars performance matters more than the driver.

>>17261060
No.

>>17258861
It's literally about driving skill in an inferior car outdoing overconfidence in quicker cars.

every other episode of season 1 is "the 8 6 can't beat XYZ?!" "INTERIA DORIFTO?!" etc

That's where you're wrong.

An enthusiast car should
-Have at least 600HP
-Look just like a concept car
-Have the widest tyres ever on a car
-Lap the Nurburgring faster than a Radical
-Cost $3,000

>>17258039
>AE86 is the same as gt86 meme
>nu86 runs on premium fuel (which a lot of gas stations don't even have 93 American Octane) for its underwhelming 200hp otherwise it knocks
Maybe in the 3rd world, in first world countries every single petrol station has them

>horizontal engine that knocks is very unreliable compared to AE86 4AGE
It's had no reliability issues

>locked into certain suspension types due to engine dimensions
So what? Handles magically

>harder to wrench on than any comparable sports car for the price (have to jack it up just to change spark plugs)
Not really.

>Direct Injection is cool but it makes the fuel pump creak like crickets
Nothing wrong with character

I'll take a v6 mustang or Camaro for the same price that runs just fine on regular fuel over the gt86 any day.
Depends on the county, here an Ecoboost Stang is 15k more.

>>17258459
Almost as fast as a corvette c5

>>17263173
Lol das it mane

>>17258415
Depends.
Here it's 15k cheaper than an ecoboost Mustang.
It was 15k cheaper than the NC too, when the ND was released they had to drop the price to pretty much match the 86

>>17258450
Cheap
Lightweight
Fun over power

Nothing at all the same

>>17259750
Actually, yes. If it's offered in manual and doesn't have >9000 electronic gadgets. Also the TC actually looks good, the GT86 is too much "hurr i'm angry".

>>17262788
>no better

Delusional Nissan cuck spotted.

I'm an ex E36 owner, except mine was a 6cyl. Had a fair few mods, M3 suspension and LSD, etc
Seriously, on paper they're similar-ish spec wise, but driving them, absolutely different experiences. The E36 feels like a very sporting commuter car, the 86 feels like an actual sports car.

>>17259977
Agreed. It's so easy to slide and so forgiving. You can grip or slip and choose how you want to attack every corner. It's an absolute blast to drive.

>>17260449
You should know better than to discuss sports cars with Americans.

Reminder that some anon needs to correct that image. The "oh look an suv" thing needs to move up ALOT. It says that at the cayenne turbo but there's the cayenne turbo S at 7:59.74

>>17263282
Slower than a Porsche Turbo? Oh wow, how will it recover?

>>17263309
Slower than a 2.5 ton uprated touareg? Yeah, no idea m8

Keep grasping at straws and comparing it to cars that cost 4 times as much. Sperge more.

>>17263341
More like 8 times as much

>>17263369
4 times as much if you live in shit tier areas

Mr. Regular pls go

>implying mrcummy has anything to do with /o/ other than spinout memes

>>17263416
It's not 3000lbs unless you include your own weight, which is almost certainly greater than 200lb if that's the figure you came up with. Fatty mcfatfuck fat fucking FAT.

>>17263409
t. mrcummy.

>>17257610
x100

if i had to buy a new car made in the last year, i'd get a brz.

>>17263173
$3000 is still too much.
and i can tell already, its too pigfat and look sugly

>>17257477
could be that other cars in the 80s were worse than the AE86
also people are jaded as fuck now
I recall when 100 hp and 180 kp/h was kind of a big deal
now that kind of thing does not even register

gt86 is too rice for its own good
and not really the same kind of 5 seat 3 door fr hatch layout

In Canada good places like Petro-Canada have 93, while Canadian Tire, Husky, shit places only have 91. Basically, you shouldn't be putting garbage gas in your nice car anyway so it shouldn't matter.

>>17259371

Bro where the fuck you get 19k from? My 89 loaded hatch invoiced at $13K.

As for why the gt86 has been a sales dissapointment, where is the fucking hatch that lets you sell the car as sporty and practical for normies? Literally thats it, no other problems with the car.
