I have an acquaintance who has a GT86, just 220bhp and relatively skinny tryes and an absolute hoot, he says. As a track day fanatic he was really happy when he managed to drift the GT 86 round all the corners at Castle Combe.
He tried the new Supra, which has the same engine and gear box as the Plus Six with all driver aids turned off, so more like a Plus Six, and really didn't enjoy it. His comment was "too much torque at low revs, it won't drift, it snaps", no fun at all.
How many PlusFours have been crashed, as a % of production? Fewer than the Plus Six, I suspect because the engine and chassis work well together.
The Aero Plus 8 can bite.. I know of one that went through a hedge backwards, but fortunately with no structural damage. Most of the damage was superficial, caused by barbed wire and brambles...
My experience is that tyres and rear suspension make a big difference: the SSL upgrades were a big step, I'm keen to see what the Cross Climate tyres are like in the spring on a dry, warm road.
