The fact its 1 second off the Supra, RS3, and FK8 shows how, despite being fun to watch, how statistically inconsistent and pointless the laptimes logged here are. The learning curve for driving an underpowered car is significantly lower than it is for vehicles with markedly more horsepower. No, the GR86 does not in fact run this track near as fast as a Mustang GT or a Supra... it's purely driver competence with a confidence interval of potato.

Probably the best intro yet. While not an FR, I too have an under-powered track toy so I can very much relate. I proudly bring to the track (the DDT at the CTMP) my now classic ‘93 del Sol Si. With a full suspension, brake and chassis upgrade, the little FF 2-seater sports a 185whp GSR swap and Type-R LSD making it a thrill to drive. It corners like it’s on rails and occasionally embarrasses “faster” cars in the corners. However, during open lapping events I find myself running with the “advanced” group due to my experience on the track. Signalling the GT3’s and M3’s to pass can be a bit of a killjoy. Keep up the spectacular work, gents!

@@x-tremegt860 The dodge is heavy and wouldn't have faired well in the twisty sections. I don't know much about dodges, anyone care to explain why the Charger performed better than the Challenger? I guess the Charger was a more practical platform to build performance into, the Challenger is more of a big boat for stylish cruising? I guess?

@@JanG859 They almost weigh the same. The Charger usually weighs a couple hundred pounds more than the Challenger tbf. The real answer is probably driver input and the transmission. New Chargers only come in auto vs. the Challenger, which can be had with a stick. Unless you're channeling Andretti, the auto shifts quicker. Hands down. But the point is, compared to the 86, the Mopars are bigger and heavier. 2800+ lbs vs 4000+ lbs. If you've never driven either; You can snap an 86 around much quicker than a Hellcat. It's very light. But you'll reel an 86 in a Hellcat in a straight stretch.

@@JanG859 the performance is just about the same, same engine, motor, chassis, etc. But I think the overall styling of the charger is more aerodynamic compared to the challenger (which just like you said is a big boat) so that probably gave it the upper hand

@@JanG859 The Charger has a better weight distribution, more towards the rear, so it can actually put the power down more and be more stable round the corners. On top of that, the Charger is also more aerodynamic, well the effects of this is pretty minimal, but it counts.

They fixed everything wrong with the old one, and kept the good stuff. Love it.

Do you own an Old gen and if so would you really trade it for this new one

@@wnynj1213 yeah, I'd trade it. Lots more parts are aluminum, engine is basically hot rodded and I like the stiffening of chassis and thr Gr86 looks a lot more. The old one was good but that engine was crap.

I never tried one, but I like the concept. Not too powerful, but it's in my list of possible new buys.

Great job, love what you do.

Amen, fellas...you guys are the best Canadian automotive content on the web IMHO, keep up the good work!

In ten years I’m still going to be watching you guys and laughing til my gut hurts. Cheers!

I always find your videos entertaining. Though the 'torque dip' bit made me laugh out loud. Wonderful.

one of the best videos ever, keep going 👌👌👌

The rear end looks like an Acura NSX but in 360p. lol. but that intro was the best yet.

I actually really like the interior. Simple, modern enough and has everything you need to have fun and drive it every day if you want.

I had a Miata in England in winter, a company car that was not mine for a rainy weekend. I never looked out of the windscreen, only the side windows. What a riot. This is genuinely where the fun is. Without the jail time an M car would bring.

I still have a blast driving my '13 BRZ. Even if, I admit sometimes, it is a little awkward pulling away a bit slow from the lights.

Loved the “goh” noise of the engine that was described perfectly. Drag race was good to see wondered how much faster GR86 was in a draggy race.

James going "BBBUUUUHHHHHHHHH" was something I never knew I needed

Another oscar worthy car review / track test. Keep it up!

The startup animation on the gauge 😍😍😍

Today I learned geese don't sweat. This fact is useless, and I was already fairly certain of this. Thanks James! Seriously, I love these vids!

A lot of animals don't sweat, sweating is mostly a mammal thing

I’ve been watching your channel for a while now, the videos just keep getting better. You guys should be proud of what you’ve built.

As usual, excellent content gentlemen.

You two do SUPERB work and James, you are hilarious!

“Ok, let do some exterior shots for the intro…. Oh, get one of that adaptive headlight twerking!”

I love the both gr86 and mx5 these are two legends.

Because of this episode, I sold my m235i with an LSD and coilovers for a BRZ 2022. no regrets. joy to drive and the coilovers are ordered... Keep it up boyz.

As an mx5 owner I LOVED THAT OPENING. bravo
