I'm just saying, there really isn't much being done for serious modification on our cars. Shamu's got some stuff going for racing, if you want power you can follow Bullit's $200k+ path to a partially finished car. 3 years out, there should be a lot more for our cars.

I had a 2000 Celica, there were a crap ton of aftermarket. However, after trial and error, everyone picks the SAME brands and kits over and over...so....do we really need a BOMEX kit?

Nope.

The Celica doesn't really have what I would consider a good aftermarket. It has a big one, but it mostly caters to the ricer crowd.

We have only a handful of shops doing FI builds, and no one is really attempting to mess around with the engine internally-- mostly because there isn't much that can be done with the car.

The 350 had a pretty solid aftermarket built up quickly, and it would have been nice if we got that on the 370 as well.

I saw this concept today at the NY auto show and it was fn sweet. Very concept-esk but was pretty darn sexy. I have some pics but it was under lighting that wouldn't let the color come out right but it was the sane deep red as the video.

It easily drew the biggest crowds , they were having "scion dance parties" ( no joke ) around the car and throwing scion beanies out to those dancing. Scion is teyig hard.

Def looked really really good though , crazy rear diffuser low low front end , concave wheels but but there's no way the production will look that good.

With 90% of it's looks and a proper motor I would think long and hard about it.

I'll post the pics soon.

I like Justin Bieber and I am a low life troll. I go from forum to forum and troll like an idiot!

When I first saw the pics for the FT-86, it looked pretty damn sweet, but now that reality has kicked in and the final production model has been shown, its a big let down. Looks matter and I don't think that the FT-86 has them. Is there really a market for a $20K sports car?

Price range I'm guessing is around $25k

Yes there is!

Hell I would buy one :icon17:

I agree, it will decimate anything once you drop 15k into it and if we have to overnight parts from Japan.

Though it will fetch a premium a week before race wars.

:iagree:

I was following the FT-86 development for some time, but as expected, the homogenized production version was disappointing...as was the lack of horsepower! That's what ultimately led me back to the Z. Maybe Toyota will actually bring back something worthy of being a Supra someday!

Two similar threads going on at the same time, FT-86 & BRZ vs 370Z. :shakes head:

It seems like automakers today can't seem to make a good sports car besides cars such as the z, sti, and genesis. They all seem to suffer in the looks department and power. Automakers make cars that have a little pep above the average car and maybe slightly more stylish and call it their sports car that targets the younger crowd when its really a pos in comparison to the sports cars they used to make like in the 90's (supra,300zx,rx7,3000gt).

How old were you when it was in the 90s? The Supra/300ZX/RX-7/3000GT were at least $30K in the early 90s, some climbed to the 40s and 50s. They all died because they were overpriced and they couldn't sell any. If the 370Z was another $10K more expensive, there would be a lot less people driving it.
