86 vs 86?! There has been a TON of heated debate between AE86 owners and the owners of the new ZN6/ZC6 chassis Scion FR-S, Subaru BRZ and Toyota GT86. While there are many old school Corolla heads who have welcomed the new 86 into the world with open arms, let’s be honest. There ARE a lot of FRS/BRZ haters who constantly come up with reasons to dislike the car. We wonder if these old school guys have ever DRIVEN a ZN6/ZC6 on the racetrack though? We’ve driven BOTH cars on the street and the racetrack, and we absolutely love BOTH cars.
This video was sent to us by our friends at GT Channel, to provoke some discussion about the subject. Even the Drift King Keiichi Tsuchiya, one of Japan’s most famous, most respected AE86 drivers had to give props to the driving feeling and handling of the new 86.
Watch the video… what do YOU think?
