True that.  Then people go and offset the low center of gravity by throwing in V8 ISF engines and such!
 
It's pretty amazing how the introduction of these twins have pretty much flicked the switch back on for the aftermarket tuning companies in Japan.
 
It's definitely going to be a racers car.

Unfortunately haven't been able to dig up any figures for it yet.  They're probably still doing some more tuning.

Not in a dealership. I think they are being held ready for publicity and media days.
 
I didn't get to have a look.

Any Victorians planning on purchasing/pre-ordering an 86?
 
I'm actually putting together a groupbuy which depending on numbers (hopefully 5) will be able to net us either a reduction off the List Price or some extras at no cost.
 
Would be useful to join the groupbuy if you were thinking of purchasing anyway as this way we'd all get some extras.

Looks weak, narrow tyres, front end is too "squinty" with the small lights etc. Never been a fan and will definitely not be buying one, nor want to have a ride in one. Genuinely doesn't interest me that much.

did you know the MR2 came with 195/55 R15 and 225/50R15.... 
so 215/45R17 is not too bad...

The MR2 was also made in 1989....
current "hot" hatches including clio come with 215/45/17, so I agree with perhaps being "under tyred".Not that bad, but not that great either.
Most reviews of the car say it is "fun" and quite a few have said that the "skinny front tyres" contribute to this.
