Actually 58.407. Speaking of FA20 development, when TRD Japan builds a car, they do it right. There is no turbo and the transmission is a re-geared stock unit (Aisin AZ6). This is a built 86 that makes you proud of your purchase, rather than regret that you didn’t instead buy a 911, 370Z, or Focus ST…
This FA20 uses in development pistons, rods and cams from TRD, and revs to 8000rpm for… an amazing 230hp. That’s a whole lot of car for only 230hp.
So is the question now… can a 2.4L V8 go faster? Of course it can… but I’m still doubtful that it will.
The part where you said:
“when TRD Japan builds a car, they do it right”
Kind of reminds me of what Orido said (according to the subtitles) on this clip http://youtu.be/8DbtM7Fewos
He said about the TRD Altezza:
“If you just looked at the price tag, it maybe a little pricey, but it’s highly engineered, so it’s worth it. Just pick out the parts you like and make your own special Altezza, it’ll be fun.”
As he said, TRD parts are a little pricey but I’m sure it won’t be anywhere near the same price tag as that $70K 2.4L V8. So maybe with that Griffon concept, the future looks bright for NA 86 owners like you. 😉
270PS BEAMS!?!?!!!! Damn.
