​@@coffee838 I owned/drove one from 1985 to 1995 and the GR86 misses the mark but the market probably demands it for customers today. The masses are different. The fact it doesn't have a real Toyota/Yamaha engine is what keeps me away from it.

Thanks man!

[@thisisKB87]

holy shit you are fking CRACKED at this. On a 2k mile car. Makes me wanna drift my own gr86 but you made it look so easy 🤣🤣 I appreciate you letting it absolutely rip!

[@TwinsInAction]

This is crazy man! Exactly what I clicked for!

Yooo I love to hear it!

Wow that was cool! Thought you were going to slam into that Mustang a few times lol

[@WillCouch]

Haha fun times!

[@ro00o33]

the mustang has a lot of dents, looks like someone already slammed into it pretty good haha

That drifting is a masterpiece... btw im a young teen who someday would like to learn drifting!

[@WillCouch]

That’s what’s up! Go for it

[@boronat1]

came to this vid after japan racer max drifted it so smooth at tsukuba and i can say that it really impressed me like at 7:40 mark doing full lock on steering wheel and still keeping it

[@WillCouch]

Appreciate that!

That’s a real homie

[@ro00o33]

how hard is this to do? like im a person who has only driven a stick shift two days in their life, and i generally consider myself a guy who learns this kind of stuff pretty well... and this looks insanely fun. but do you think id ever be able to even do this stuff? i guess for someone who doesnt normally drive stick it just looks extra hard maybe idk

[@WillCouch]

It’s hard to say. Drifting is typically not something people can learn instantly. Buy depending on your background, some of other forms of Motorsports can cross over a bit and make the it quick to learn but id say just try it man! Drifting is undoubtedly one of the most fun things you can go do.

[@ro00o33]

@@WillCouch lol so this morning i test drove a 2022 gr86 as a person who has almost no experience at driving stick and yea.... theres no way i could ever do this lol. mad props. i decided to go with an automatic instead because i can only have 1 car right now, and i have a history of leg injuries which dont vibe with manual. when i test drove a miata it seemed significantly easier to learn on, prolly bc it had less power or something idk but i struggled badly with the gr86. its not the cars fault though , the car is amazing. stick shift just isnt for me and i didnt grow up w it

Nice drifting skill of you and others! Where was this? I wish there's more events like in California, so people aren't gonna be stupid doing side show every weekends... And gotta give props to your buddy for trusting you doing side way on a brand new car against mostly fixer uppers. I know I won't. 😄

@@WillCouchhow can one learn how to drift and use handbrake?

[@kato9517]

@@WillCouchsame car btw

[@kato9517]

@@WillCouchand why did changing the tire pressure matter? i'm new to this

[@WillCouch]

More tire pressure means less grip. The tire has less surface touching the ground after a certain psi plus the more loose /soft tire at lower psi can roll around and flex and maintain a good grip into the ground. We had just got a fresh set mounted so they were really high to seat the tire on the wheel but so excited to go drift again just forgot to air them back down haha. More grip defiantly helps. or at least for how fast i wanted to drift it i need it the extra control from lower psi. @@kato9517

[@theripefruit4343]

Nice driving bro you did that, car looks like alot of fun!!

[@Aquaman-01]

So I want one of these too, I'm just wondering how if reliability of the car is effectes if driven like this or if the car can sustain it since it seems like it was built for this type of driving style .

[@yawny9710]

If you drive any car like this, it puts a ton of wear and tear on the car. For a daily driver, here and there is fine (handful of times of the lifetime of the car).. Otherwise if you wanted to do this all the time get ready to make repairs. You will go through tires quick and it is harsh on differential, axles, and transmission at the very least. Its the trade of being able to drive a car like this frequently vs a daily. Any car that is driven like this frequently has constant attention, maintenance, and repairs. If you planned on doing this often you would always reinforce many aspects of the car to withstand much more than stock, but at the end of the day you are pushing it resulting in more wear and tear.

[@Aquaman-01]

@@yawny9710 thanks for the insight bro. I know this is a silly dilemma but idk if I want the 86 as a fun weekend car or choose the supra with the zf auto that would be a little bit more practical and refined while still being able to get the tail out in corners from time to time.

[@yawny9710]

@@Aquaman-01 honestly, for the price the BRZ/GR86 will be more fun. If you are looking g for a quick daily that you don't plan on whipping it or tracking, go Supra if you can afford it. The BRZ 86 will be cheaper to keep up and will kick out easier and have fun with very few mods if any. The BRZ 86 is lighter and cheaper - initial cost and maintenance. I know many people whole actually sold their Supras to get a GR86. Don't get me wrong the Supra is beautiful piece of art and it is quick, but the BRZ 86 platform is made for someone who wants to have fun. The Supra is made for someone who isn't going to whip it from time to time even though you can. I would never whip a Supra if I had one, cost too much if i hit something/damage a body panel as well as maintenance and it's too pretty. Unless you are obsessed with the look of the Supra I'd go BRZ Gr86 platform imo. BRZ/GR86 is an affordable drivers car not to say the Supra isn't, it just exspensive. You can always add a supercharger, turbo, or LS swap the BRZ GR86 if you really want that speed. And in terms of daily driveability of the FA24 engine (even stock) is more than enough for daily commuting and having fun in the back roads.

[@floored3078]

@@yawny9710 Everything you said is 1000% true. I know Drag guys who pump so much power they have to rebuild transmissions after every drag weekend (v8s) I just picked one of these up and I definitely wont be abusing it like this until I'm ready to start swapping axles out haha.

[@floored3078]

To add if you try to get one now. They are 39k+, Toyota and Subaru are now only taking orders for 2023, all 2022s are sold or on the way to people who paid. I got my Gr86 4 months ago, it's a great little car. Walked out after taxes for under 32k with weather package.

[@colesnyder7821]

Was curious about the oil temps while drifting. Nice to see it just enjoying 230 😳

Wish u had a cam for the foot work.

Me too haha. A lot of clutch work

[@rubenhernandezdorta6205]

What an amazing car… absolutely incredible

[@WillCouch]

Right! Stayed cool on the temps and everything, hardly any tires used.

[@rubenhernandezdorta6205]

@@WillCouch I just can't believe Toyota has become such absolute beasts. To release a car like that for that price, that and the Yaris. Madlads... anyways, I live in Spain and we still don't have a date of release for the car, however, I've already payed 500 euros to book one of the 3 that are coming to my state. I can't wait man, cheers thanks for the video, amazing drifting!

awesome driving dude!

Appreciate it man!

[@driftingbrandonc.6480]

Is there enough power is the question. Wider wheels and wider stickier tires.

[@WillCouch]

It’s possible for sure. Nothing crazy big but higher pressure would still work. Wound need to drive with more commitment the more grip you add. Honestly felt great as is

[@DrBubinski]

bruh

DRIVER MODDD 😂🔥

[@youtubeaccountlol4942]

I just bought mine today, sorry S14 😞

Good choice though man! Those things are so fun

Noooo 😭😭😭

[@truckbucket1019]

Lol bro how you say its “it’s pretty much stock besides the coils” but then say “we will see how it rips with a little bit of extra power “ 🥴🥴 lol like huhn. So is it stock cause you lost me when you said with a “little bit of extra power”

[@truckbucket1019]

And I only ask cause I’m thinking bout getting one but AUTO cause idk how to drive stick andddd I don’t wanna get it thinking I can drift on auto 1000% STOCK and can’t Untill I Mod it feel me lol … can you lmk bout that aswell

[@truckbucket1019]

And I know manual is better it’s just I was never taught or never had anyway ever to learn how to drive stick let alone drift stick feel me

[@WillCouch]

The new gr86 has a little more power, stock than the old model. That’s what I meant haha. Little more torque compared to the old one feels great. That said you can drift either one, new or old, Auto or manual. Butttt definitely get the manual. You can totally learn how to drive the manual quick and you’ll be glad you did in my opinion.

[@truckbucket1019]

@@WillCouch ngl bro knowing that I could mess up the clutch or gears if I’m saying that right I’d be heartbroken if I blow sumn or break sumn and don’t got the bread right away to get it fixed feel me cause that would be my daily fr till I get my bread up to get another V feel me … like trust I always wanted to learn how to drive stick fr but never had anyone to teach me so it’s like no cap now that you said that I might consider it fr just cause I would t mind learning like that on my own but i just wouldn’t want to break anything JUST off the fact of me Learning alone feel me lol I’d be mad asf … Then it’s like what would I do just search up “how do you drive stick “ cause it’s more to it right than just using the gear shifter right I’d have to learn how to use my feet aswell or sumn right feel me … like all that not confusing but confusing cause I never actually sat and looked I just see people drive stick on videos and allat so it’s like I have an idea but then Id buy the GR and get ina seat and be lost asf lol feel me so what you think … think I’d still be good and wouldn’t break anything cause that my only fear fr . And I wouldn’t even try spinning it till I’m 100% comfortable and have driving manual down pact to the core feel me so yea what you think ….
