    Sorry to crush popular belief but Ketos dont handle better than ae86's otherwise there'd be ketos in D1 and shit and the rigidness is only a matter of opinion, I have never seen any real proof of this at all..

    I'd go the ae86, will always give you a better return when you sell it..

    There is a reason for that, obviously you are blinded by the light of studio 54.

    sorry to crush your theory but its pretty damned flawed.

    really theres not much in it. but ive owned both and ke's are great. definitely stiffer than ae86 hatch backs. this is simply applied engineering principles.

    2 door coupes are never as stiff as their 4 door counter part. the hole in the side of the structure is much larger.

    also the hatch area is another huge area with no bracing. on a ke (and 86 coupe) this area is tied together by the parcel shelf.

    this doesnt really mean a ke is a better buy, but it does mean its quite fair to argue its a better car as far as handling goes. backed up by a lot of people whove owned and driven both.

    either way, lets say its x amount stiffer, and so x amount a slighty better drivers car.

    the trade off is re sale. also aerodynamics and wind noise.

    styling is 100% subjective. i like both. i also like Ferrari's and 20's fords.

    people saying 86s are over prices. well. ke's must be then to.

    lets say you buy a decent ke. by todays prices, you need to spend about $1000 on parts to get it up to mehanical spec of an aussie 86. im talking struts with brakes, and a full ae71 gearbox conversion.

    youre still looking at about $1800. easy. about the same as youd spend on an ae71 with some spare 86 struts to coil over.

    so really. youre a grand behind what an aussie 86 is worth. + the parts arent even in the car, and you have to hunt them up.

    $1000 is nothing when youre realistically preparing to spend at least 5 grand, more like 8, to get it up to speed.

    Sorry I drive a sedan AE86 (GT-APEX) FTW owned two hatches and two KETO's, and if there is an Aussie Keto that handels better than an AE86 I am yet to see this... AE86's are renowned for their handling not so much KETO's, Generally they handle better..

    your on acid dude, go take a closer look at what he said, the coupes and ke70s are more rigid in the rear shelf area = more rigidity, if a hatch has a decent cage or braces and crap it will be similar.

    Can think of about 10 ketos off the top of my head that will handle better, generally..
