1 In the last five years, Subaru, and certainly Toyota have done lots with the FT86 platform. We’ve seen minor iterations from the production car, and a few interesting special edition models.

IMO the SCCA’s dealing with the FRS/BRZ twins in street class has been a bit of a cluster fuck.

Certainly looks drool worthy… but when projecting 58.XXX Tsukuba times, I wonder if Jun is confusing RPM and number of throttle bodies with actual […]
