after some fine years with my GT86 avo turbo it was time to go for my alltime dreamcar.
My first experience was with the new 2.0 in silicon silver, a beautifull car.
However I did not like the sound and I missed the punch when you floor the pedal.

When the dealer invited me to try the 3.0 V6, I knew this has to be the one.
I found one in Ammonite grey with 9000 km on the dial and allmost every option I wanted.

There will be some tuning with a lighter pulley, another ECU and airfilter which raises HP from 340 to 410.
Are there some forummembers with experience?

You did not sell the GT86 ? I see the car is 2016, but don't you mess up the garantee by tuning it ?

The colour/wheels combo is very chique, but I prefer lighter/brighter colours. This is more "gala clothing" ,
I'm more the 'beasty' type..

Me too Dan, but in Holland the V6 is used hard too find and with these options hardly none.
For a new car we pay allmost the same price as the V8 cost in other countries!

Hi Corne,

There are manyV6 for sale actually [gaspedaal]. Unless you want DAB , as that nobody ordered before 2017. Most dealer ordered cars
still don't have. So they've twenty or so cars as demo, no DAB and many no heated front windscreen..

I've heared on another forum bottom of F-Type rusts like hell [ all metal parts underneath, shell is alumnium..]. Did you check the
underside of your car ?

So which options did you want that aren't available ?

Dan

Well Dan, the 20 inch wheels, luxury seats, 770 watt meridian soundsystem and panoramaroof are included.
Bigger brakes maybe in the future, for now better brakepads will do fine.
