Title: Toybaru BRZ/GT86 in 'not actually slow' shocker!
Post by: tony_danza on May 06, 2013, 09:49:37 pm

Seems sub 8:30 BTGs are quite easy, in something that's apparently slow.

Just goes to show that sorting handling, brakes and tyres is worth a lot more than chucking more power at a car.

So what exactly is a stage 2 tune on one of them? Intake, full exhaust and map?

Goes well. :happy2:

That is a well set up car, balanced and  neutral throughout. I would hazard a guess some wonga spent on running gear. There is no body roll whatsoever on the bends.  I am firmly on the fun factor side of the fence put a knarley exhaust on that NA engine and get them well set up and for me it will be far more rewarding taking that on track than having a 350BHP wall of power.  :driver:
