Will It Have Enough Power?

[KPARRIS-JONES]

Hi all, as above really,

Do you all reckon that 180BHP is enough for the FT-86?

Bearing in mind that it has been designed with drifting in mind, not drag racing. I reckon that it should be enough, provided that it's at high revs and that it has a perfect and seamless suspension set-up.

However, people will most likely want more power, especially as these people will be within the bracket of 19-25 years old. And drifting is a very small market, so it would have to be very specialised if it is to take off with them.

Well as far as I'm aware the 180BHP is only from a DOHC engine.

I'm sure they'll end up bringing out a Turbo Charged varient seen as it's co-designed with Subaru who love their Turbos! :P

I hope so! But wasn't there talk of keeping it strictly N/A recently on TOC? :P

Maybe, I Could have missed that thread.

IMO I think they'd have to bring a higher powered version out or it won't attract as many customers. People want a new Toyota Sports car, Not less powered version of the Celica.

I'd still buy one with 180BHP though, as I think they look lush. lol.

Yeh, I am in agreement with you to be honest. Maybe a supercharged version like the compressor? Turbo boost would be lovely though!

The reports would suggest that Toyota's version will be N/A with Subaru producing a Turbo'd version.

BUT! as this ticks the "interesting" box it won't be long before plenty of tuning parts are available for it ;)

I hope that's the case, I'm trying to get my dad to go for an FT-86.

No doubt I'll concoct some monstrous tuning idea...

lol, I'd probably have it in gloss black, with white Drift rims, tinted black windows, the tail lights tinted totally red and that would be it.

Oh and a white roll cage!

Now all I need is £20k to do this, not to mention the car itself....
