Wow that's painfully slow. A GT86 tried to traffic light Grand Prix me twice yesterday and ended up tucking in behind me both times. I was driving a 12 year old diesel estate that cost three grand and has an interior that puts this lump to shame.
Do you mean a GT86 pulled away from the lights slowly while some guy in an old diesel wagon tried to have a race?

No. He ran out of road at about xxmph at the first set of lights, and ran out of bottle at xxmph on the bypass. The GT86 is very slow in standard form. I was listening to Classic FM at the time if that makes you feel better.GravelBen said:

On the bypass he let the old guy in the old derv estate fly through the speed cameras and watched him disappear in a big cloud of black s

Gt86 was never designed for 0-60 sprints and traffic light Grand Prix’s... its all about the handling.
This as the point I was making. Unfortunately a couple of people who judge cars on what they look like rather than what they do got involved. The GT86 is slow but it was sold under the American concept of st out of the box but easily tuneable.A1VDY said:

A lot rarer than a crashed Evo in a UK breakers yard...
Resulting in two heaps of metal on my drive,10 minutes later realising I'm in over my head, this is never getting finished, and if by some miracle it did the end result still would be a poor equivalent to an Evo. Although respect to those crazy enough to give it a go.Finding an Evo wagon / importing it would, most likely be quicker than building something and resale value would make it a cheaper.
