As you know, I've really peed in their lemonade on this

I just don't get how they fail to see that Toyota literally re-wrote the rules on what defines a sports car by throwing actual performance metrics completely out the window

Oh, except for CoG. That's one metric they have noooo problem crowing about

If they had done what Nissan had done -- pick a pricier car with good performance numbers and said, "we can do that at 1/2 the price!" it would have been a MUCH better car.

Oh well... here's hoping for a Gazoo twincharged or Subaru boosted version.
I completely agree with you on this. But I found it frustrating to reason with those fanboys on their forum. For instance, I would never say that the Z is as good as Lambo or Porsche, but those 86 fanboys would make such claim, which I consider simply retarded. However, even the stock Z can be as fast as some Maserati and Porsche regardless the precision in handling. What can the 86 do? It's basically too slow to be a real "sports car", so they can only make themselves feel better by saying it handles better than a Porsche or GT-R. Silly.
