The FT-86 is going to get a lot of love from aftermarket tuners just from what I've seen so far. The HP output is not overly impressive in comparison to the 370z. Also, the look of it from when the original version that was brought to everyone's attention 4 years ago to now are completely different; it has been dumbed down and made not as nice. Also since it is under the Scion line now, people will just look at this car as trash. IMO, I would rather just buy a used 350z or 240sx and go from there instead of the FT-86.

It's really hard to judge IMO without looking at pics themselves. I use to think this way until I made the comparison myself.

The original headlights are super sleek and sharper, but the position of the projectors may be a bit too far back to be effective. A lot of the front facia still looks the same with minor tweak on aggressiveness, but I'm not sure if the side lower ducts are supposed to be functional air ducts for the brakes. I like the original rear at first, but it looks like that style isn't going to age well after released. The new ones are a bit funky yet modern and I'm pretty sure there will be a aftermarket for pure red ones.
