FT-86 vs 370z time to trade in?

DIGItonium · 04-24-2011, 04:23 PM

IMO, I never liked the new tC. This new car is definitely appealing, efficient, and hopefully fun to drive. Sometimes I wish the Z went back to the basics in terms of packaging. Regardless, I wouldn't trade my Z for as long as I can afford gasoline.

The FT-86 looks ricey so no, I wouldn't trade in my Z.

murphman · 04-24-2011, 05:09 PM

looks like the fender behind the front wheels narrows inward with a lot of the back side of the front wheel sticking out. Have fun soaking the side of you car with mud and dinging it with rocks

Im interested more in the subie/toyota versions.

Only thing I really don't like about that scion is it's side mirrors. Way too small.

Its the 2012 2013?????? Nissan Z threads all over again. This is like the 3rd thread about this car in the past week. This car is going to be in the 20k price range, which means it will not be competing with cars like the Z.

Armonster · 04-24-2011, 05:34 PM

Looks awesome, but it doesn't pass the "must have 300 hp to play" test.

Cafiax · 04-24-2011, 05:35 PM

wtf is like the LFA and the 370z's baby LOL

Always say never to toyota. Unless it is an lfa.

BeachZTT · 04-24-2011, 05:41 PM

I like the styling. It's a good looking car. Not for me though. Dropping almost 200 hp from my TT to the 370, no way I would sacrafice another 100!

This.

Might also be worth waiting to see what the Subie version will be like.

If possible, I'd like to keep the Z and get that as a second car.

It will weigh around 2500 lbs and have excellent balance -- it will only need ~250 hp to play on the same field as the Z.

Of course, if it only makes 180 hp at the crank, they better offer a turbo version

But we know they won't, so I'd agree getting rid of your Z for this would be a step back. I'd even be willing to bet the production version will look considerably watered down from that concept.

It will. Remember wat the xB use to look like and wat the real bonk looks like in stock form? LOL.

Watch the FT-86 turn into a girlie car like the Celica. 200hp wasn't even enough in a car like the Lotus Elise. Hence the Exige and Exige S.

AlphaSnacks · 04-24-2011, 07:25 PM

If they can match the interior of the 370Z in fit, finish, and aesthetics, on top of provide a punchy, mod friendly, and adequately powerful motor on a light car...then the FT revival car will prove worthy.

But seeing as how Toyota execs are billing this as more of a Miata MX5 fighter, I wouldn't bet on any of the above happening. Here's what I predict:

2.0L H4
200HP @ 7500RPM
150TQ @ 2000RPM
2750-2800lbs (Options pending)
2+2 Seating
