Drove an AE86 today! - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

My friend has had the car for many months, but I just drove it for the first time today.

The only other 'real' car I have driven is my Camry (see sig).

I was very impressed by the shifter and clutch. I am realizing that the shifter and clutch on my car sucks, but the system on the AE86 was nice. Light clutch and nice shifter. On my car, even after driving it for a YEAR, I still can't get my clutch/gas transfer PERFECT (I'm good, but not perfect), but after 5 minuties in the 86, I was doing great.

I didn't push the car at all, or do any corners (too congested and my first time in the car) at speed, but I am very impressed, a really fun little car with gobs of potential.

I just like how heavy the clutch is on my Camry

- its damn good practice, as anything else feels lightweight!

i drive an '86 daily, and then driving my friends 89 5.0 was killer, honestly my left leg was shaking getting the clutch in and out, that thing is brutal.
