From the Car and Driver review:
“The pedal positioning makes heel-toeing somewhat tricky, but with some tweaks to your foot placement, it's possible.“ Assuming this means the pedal box has changed, as 1st Gen pedals were perfectly positioned for heel & toe. Quoted from: https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews...ta-gr86-drive/ |

It sounds like from others that some sold outside the US didn't have paddles. I wasn't aware of that.

That's one of the one's I watched. It doesn't really answer the question for me. OK, it's sort of faster than a Miata, assuming both drivers have the same skill set.
Like I said I assume it is, and some of the articles confirm it (about 0.9 seconds with the MT and 1.6 seconds with the AT, although I think that's suspect). I guess we'll have to wait for the full blown reviews before we can confirm how much faster it is.

Throttle House on Youtube drag raced a first gen refresh against the new model. GR86 was at least four or five car lenths ahead through the quarter mile, representing probably two to three tenths of a second.

Gen1 pedal box seems “perfect” to me HOWEVER admittedly a) I long ago drank the Toyobaru Koolaid and b) I don’t have much experience with anything better. Old school (size 10) Converse All Stars (-:, I don’t have a difficult time reaching/blipping the throttle while on brake. Last edited by joro2; 08-17-2021 at 07:28 PM. |
