Going to a Scion Fr-s from an Evox?
For what it's worth though, Mazda doesn't exactly put amazing tires on the Miata. Both were designed for handling. Toyota/Subaru decided however to make it easier to get the tail end out.
I know that. I just think that if that is one of the big draws of that car, then Toyota/Subaru screwed up. No me gusta.
It's no different than the Miata, it's touted as an amazing handling car but with the stock tires, it doesn't exactly have a lot of grip. Throw some nice tires on it though, and it's a very different experience.
I am willing to admit that my choice of a GTO to be my next car, which is still absolutely true, is not relevant to most people. I just don't want to have to worry about power ever again. I am willing to upgrade the hell out of the suspension, brakes, wheels, tires, etc. I just want (for me) a powerful car that can hang with anything. That is not in the cards for the GT86.

Dude, i keep trying to tell you, some people just don't get it. NFSLancerRA's next car is going to be a Pontiac GTO which he thinks "can hang with anything" and got "the same caliber of praise" as the 86 That's when you know it's time to smile and nod.
