Fixed that for you

Lol Any kind of forced induction is good with me, but I do prefer a whoosh to a whine.
If they did go for an SC on any newer models, they would need to make it so it can run on regular unleaded, unlike their last offering, the corolla compressor which can only be run on super.

@punky I'd say they will do it, from a lot of reading online, most people seem to want that bit more power in the gt86 so it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if they do release a factory turbocharged version. I just hope that with any new models of sports car they release that they go turbo from the get go rather than goign to market with a n/a to test the market and add a turbo as an after thought.

I haven't been on here in a while and thought I'd check in to see what was going on.
I found this thread on the GT86 and seen some old comments were I was excited about the GT86 being launched 6 years ago.
Fast forward six years later and I now have my own GT86.

Nice one infamous. What's it like to live with?

I think you've hit on exactly what we've probably all heard about it being under powered, but that's mostly on the internet where unless you are making 1000bhp, your car is too slow

In the real world 200bhp is all you need realistically, especially if you get your fun on the twisty backroads.

I had the jeep parked up last weekend and when I came back to it there was a GT86 next to me so I had a quick snoop around it. A lovely looking car in the metal imho

The road tax on these is a killer isn't it? I think they are over 700 a year to tax? It's a lot of money on a relatively new car...

it is a bit steep but you only have to pay it once in a year, never minded paying high tax to have something enjoyable to drive. much better value than a tax saving *diesel lupo*

* diesel lupo is just an example.... there are many other boring alternatives
