https://youtu.be/GCU8X_o3wKc Why do people like the AE86 again?

>>17773952
Because of a meme anime
Because they are aesthetic as fuck despite being cheap and fragile

Drifting is slower than grip
It's a slow car and other cars like silvia's can drift way better

>>17774012
128bhp isn't what i call "high energy"

>>17773952

Whoever drove one of these will know.

>drifting is slower than grip
not on super curvy mountain roads with a ton of hairpins, go watch a rally race

>other cars like silvia's can drift way better
ok

>>17773952

Nah drove all kind of shitboxes and really only big difference in handling at higher speed between old and new cars for me is steering box vs rack. Box always feels spongy and scary to me.

>>17774064
Shit you can drift with 5 hp

It's just because of the meme of being a fast car.

If people would watch the first season of Initial D closely they would realise even back then the AE86 was a literal shitbox ( Itsuki dreams about buying one for around $3000) and Takumi gets ridiculed for racing in one in the earlier races (for example Takahashi Brothers, "my Dorito can't lose against a shitty econbox!" or Mr "Likes to drive his GT-R into the guard rail" Nakazato)

Also most of Takumis win are not because his car is a beast or anything, it's just a combination of his perfect drift skills on akina and some asspull to get a last second lead.

The AE86 was just a sporty RWD DOHC shitbox back then and thus a favorite for poor racers and teenagers.

friend owns one. Its just a fun shitbox to drive. Put decent tires on it and its a blast.

Mine went to 200 much quicker than that. At 170-180 you're flat in the middle of the power band in 5th gear. Also, mine is set up great, it feels more stable than the new Audi A6 we have.

Not fast for race car standards. But fast enough for a DD car that you could hoon with on Saturday night.

>140km/h in a suzuki sierra

Doing 100km/h in one of these felt like a door way to hell was going to open up in the middle of the road.

Miatas are great drivers' cars, rented one when I went to California and had a blast. If I hadn't gone balls to the wall (or pants-on-head retarded depending who you ask) and imported an AE86 from Japan, I'd have an NA Miata.

>>17776687
He got it road legal about a month or two ago, also got one imported.

>>17776719

It behaves kinda normal somewhere up to 110km/h, after that and it will go faster no problem whole softtop starts to bubble up, wild shakes front to rear begin over smallest road imperfections and every time that happens you lose steering for a moment.

Still cool as fuck and pure fun.

does your car call an ambulance for you when you crash?

I'll take a Z31 over the AE86. At least those don't have a meme tax on them.
