There's no replacement for displacement as the yanks say!

 

I had one of these with a big chavvy wing on the back driving right up my arse all through the 50mph average speed check zone on the M60 the other day. I was already doing 54mph on the cruise control so don't really see how we could have gone any faster without earning a ticket. He was virtually touching my bumper. As we came out of the 50mph average speed zone I put my foot down and left him behind until we hit more traffic and had to slow down again to their speed. He was right up my arse again so I just pulled in and let him pass. He pulled alongside me and naturally gave me a look like I was the idiot before then blasting off up the fast lane trying to physically push the other cars out of his way.

 

What a lovely chap.

... Leaving the lights The confident reving gt86 driver realises that his car looks like a sports car but has a washing machine engine!

 

Priceless.

 

The GT86 isnt great on performance. I absolutely rinsed one out & left him to dry in my daily 1 series diesel the other week. The look on the other drivers face was a picture.

Really, accordingly to this list the GT86 was almost 4 seconds slower

370Z GT = 01:27.5

 

GT86 = 01:31.3

 

But it was partly wet in the GT86

 

Doh. additionally I didn't see you said 350z

I let him take off with me and smiled at him side by side till I hit second then I left him for dust. Bless, I also think they are kind of cute, a bit like a puppy!

As I said. My mate has a GT86 I'm sorta looking forward to the first red light drag!!! Cos I'm pretty sure I'll thrash him

A Celica replacement that's no faster than the Celica... I'd rather have the Celica GT than a GT86, it looks better for one...IMO anyway.

And having seen the GT86's in person I even prefer the older Celica's interior design (I didn't say the cheap ass plastics..the design lol)
