dErZ Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 I test drove a Geeee T 86 the other weekend with the Mrs and we both left dissapointed it handled brilliantly, rode nicely but was very noisey in the cabin on fast roads and definately required more power. We were both glad to get back into our own cars. 350z/TT Quote
Drayvn Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 Now this isnt the be all end all of track times, but every track is different and suits different cars. Heres a few where the track times have been compared. http://fastestlaps.com/comparisons/nissan_350z_308bhp-vs-toyota_ft-86.html 1 Quote
The Chubby Ninja Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 The garage i go to have just got a gt86 and its due to be supercharged. I think its a rotrex charger tho. Will be pretty good with some good tyres on it Quote
4RE Leather Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 The length of a piece of string is twice the distance from the centre to either of it's 2 ends! Thanks mate the number of times that question has been asked and you had the answer all the time !!!! I do aim to please:) Quote
docwra Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 What a LOT of people also forget is that the 350 is a HEAVY car, like REALLY heavy for what it is. The GT86 is a light car, my personal opinion is thank god it's not a hybrid! Power to weight is rather better on a 350Z than an 86 though, wider tyres will equal more grip and the torque is available much lower in the rev range. Id fancy my chances for sure. Quote
Ekona Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 FFS how many times do we have to go through this sh*t?! 0-60 350Z Cornering GT86 Track you'll never know It's a draw. Happy days, move on, nothing to see here. 1 Quote

The Chubby Ninja Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 Na its RA motorsports. Its going to be featured as a build project for 12 months in jap permotmance mag Quote
Ekona Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 Rogue are building multiple '86 cars with the 2UR-GSE in. They won't be the first to do that, but they're still going to be very fun cars Quote

rtbiscuit Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 the gt86 is going to be a great platform car, a bit like an empty canvas, and o won't be surprised when it hss a huge tuning options list. the zed options list is pretty limited in comparison to other marks Quote
AMT Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 After my epic GT86 post/rant thing, I saw this and just...had to post FFS how many times do we have to go through this sh*t?! 0-60 350Z Cornering GT86 Track you'll never know It's a draw. Happy days, move on, nothing to see here. YELLOW CARD...calm down I am suprised at the time of the Zed compared to the GT86, but again it is lighter. 350 and 370 are not too different as I found out with a recent black one...ahem.. Quote

TheMacDaddy Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 Is it worth pointing out that those TG lap times were set by two different drivers? Probably not. Move along... Quote
Ekona Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 Anyone who uses anything TG says as a guide for anything needs shooting. End of. Quote
