Is the 2024 Toyota GR86 Performance Pack the BEST new sports car to BUY?
Рет қаралды 54,137
8 күн бұрынThe GR86 gets upgraded with a performance pack from Toyota for 2024. On the outside you will discover 18in wheels, Brembo brakes and Sachs suspension. On the inside you will be greeted by an 8in infotainment system, 7in digital gauge cluster and sport seats. Under the hood is a 2.4L flat-4 that is mated to a 6-speed automatic gearbox. Is the 2024 Toyota GR86 Performance Pack the BEST new sports car to BUY?

Does the GR86 not deserve a serious look because it doesn't have 500HP or a 0-60 time in 2.0 secs?

@@RaitisRides In my opinion, I'd rather have fun in a track car over a drag strip car any day. Super speed in a straight line is overrated to me. That ain't real racing. 🫡Joe!!

People heavily over-rate power and 0-60 times today; the GR86 is a fantastic sports car and embodies the original vision that many Japanese auto manufacturers had for the "perfect sports car".

I agree with you completely. Unfortunately, we now live in a world where tik tok and instagram have made everyone believe that anything under 500/600 HP is "slow". Being a true car enthusiast isn't just about having the fastest 0-60 time or highest HP number, it's about enjoying the car that you're driving without caring about what others think and this GR86 does exactly that. We need to move past this mentality that social media has engrained into our brains that everything is slow. It ruins the car community.

In the early 70s I had a sports car with which I would have a great time carving up a favorite stretch of road that had all sorts of curves and elevations. It was fun and a challenge. Then I bought a Corvette with 2 1/2 times the horsepower and attacked that stretch of road. Boring. The car was too capable. Maybe if I tripled the speed it would have been a challenge - and also dangerous. The little sports car was more entertaining.
