Whats for you and your FT-86/086a - Autocross, Circuit, Drifting, Touge, Drag Racing?

[SUPRAtruc2JZGE]

Street drifting and drift track for me...

[G4BROKE]

For sure, the FT-86 RWD as DD (seasonal) and road touring/cruising, likely some track time too! Who knows, could be more!

Street drifting No Bueno.

LOL! I'm crazy old asian guy!!

[pierceman]

anything but drag...

[ProZach626]

If I ever pick one of these up, I'd mostly just want it for a fun DD. I'd probably do a few handling/performance mods. Other than that, it sounds like the car is going to be fun enough out of the box.

anything but drag...

May I ask why?

[SUPRAtruc2JZGE]

drag = go forward
non drag = alot of fun

Drag racing is boring. I did it for a few years. Once I got out of my straight forward mindset I never looked back.

[mastadon]

Depends on which one I end up with since the SUbaru will be AWD. If I get that it will be all about auto X and maybe some time attack, toyota RWD = Drift

I don't mind those who build drag cars, I would never do so but to each their own.

Its fun to at least take your car to the drag every year to see how she handles, unless of course its become a track bitch.

The FT-86 will not be a drag car, pure and simple.

Both My Honda Dealer and the pontiac dealer said it's OK to change it myself, if I record the mileage, receipts and if I use parts, use the brand parts.

This post confuses me.

[West]

It's in ref to oil home changes being covered by warranty standards. I wouldn't think the Pontiac matters since they are disolved at this point, or so I thought.

[williamt2]

The Pontiac store is closed, however they also sell GMC and Buick. They have a very large GM Repair shop.

I would imagine GMC/Chevy techs could work on pontiacs no problem since alot of them are just rebadged.

No drift. It annoys me as it is not the fast line. Period.

No drag. Hard on parts and I do not care to have my fun in 12 second spurts.

Auto-X is fine and all but I like 20-30 min sessions more.

Track days are where its at for me. Back road action is great as well as there is no limit on track time and the events are always free. Sadly you have to stay sane as public road ways are NO PLACE to push limits. This is one reason I moved my EVO. Car was just far too fast to enjoy at legalish speeds. I hope this car can give me a lot of the fun with close to similar lap times once tuned.

I can respect that. I am not really big on drifting or drag either. A road course seems like it would be a lot of fun to do.

Track days are the goods. Not sure where you are at but there are events to be had within easy drive of most places in America and Europe. I am blessed to be rather close to Mid Ohio and can get two days with Porsche club for just shy of $300 which may seem a bit spendy until you consider that it comes with a good bit of insight and instruction from SCCA and Club racers who ride along and offer insight until you are found to be safe, sane and ready to solo. Even after you are cut loose its great to get other folks in your car to offer thoughts on lines and technique as you always have something new to learn.

Best of all... the things you learn stay with you in every car you ever drive. As such its a better investment than any gizmo, hot part or bit made of unobtanium that you can ever add to a car.

Well said, I wish more poeple would spend money and time behind the wheel instead of spedning it on the next mod that will surely make them the most awesome driver in the world. lol.

True story...

I was at Beaverun outside of Pittsburgh at the One Lap Of America driving/qual school a few years back and there was some old dude in an Olds Acheiva just beating folks stupid. Seems he was an experienced Auto-Xer who had a good grasp of driving dynamics and was put in the first timers group with a bunch of guys with FAST cars and no idea how to use them. It was quite a treat watching the little quad 4 powered car beating feet around BMWs, Porches and Vettes.

You bring up a good point. I guess it would depend on whether I'm in an AWD or RWD model.

Plus, I have no idea of what I like yet, but I'm hoping to get into autoX this season with the WRX.

[bersh]

[vingox21]

Just wait until you fork over the money and you have a mint condition car in front of you, you won't want to drive the shit out of it. Well at least for 1 month
