I've got the 86 for the next week on a road test....pretty much spent every opportunity I could get today in the car as it makes me smile so much. Anyhow, I digress, having also owned an S2000 the 86 gear box reminds me of the Honda, bloody fantastic!
Good stuff. crispyshark said:
Having driven this car I don't feel it's underpowered
How can this heresy be so?! Some other cars have better road test 0-100km/h times, apparently. Surely the GT86 is dangerously under-powered (for the ego)? MC Bodge said:

As i've alluded, once you're sitting in it and hustling it along it's got a fine amount of power which works in harmony with the chasis and suspension set up on the road version. This is my my humble opinion of course and like i say, i too was criticising the car openly before i drove it.
I could go into all the other bits that are making me fall in love with this car but it would spoil my article!
Only thing i don't like is the engine note.....bit too cat trying to roar like a lion.

Still not driven the 86 yet, but that kind of backs up my 'RWD Integra Type R' prediction about how it will be too drive.Edited by crispyshark on Tuesday 12th February 23:42

That's not a bad comparison and it does rev to 9k, no VTEC Yo! though! And the growly little engine is actually starting to grow on me!
