    In YOUR opinion would you call your aAE 86 a POCKET ROCKET?
    or would you leave this name tag to things like swifts and charades? (not they they are rockets!)

    Pocket rockets are motorbikes...

    I've yet to see a car I would consider a pocket rocket

    I'd never call an ae86 a pocket rocket, sounds so tacky and gay.

    i think i can remember older people referring to my car as that. as well as "snazzy little number" ect. lol..

    honda city turbo 1 and 2... pocket rocket
    suzuki alto works... pocket rocket
    daihatsu mira Trxx?... pocket rocket

    the pocket rocket is usally assigned to the small hot hatchs... kei cars.

    a sprinter isnt a hot hatch let alone a kei car...

    LOL!

    No.

    I think small ricer cars get attached with that name... but not an aE86 IMO, too large. Plus the tag doesn't suit.

    I've seen some fast Charades in the past, crazy, but still quick, at least in a straight line.

    the only car really worthy of the 'pocket rocket' moniker (as gay sounding as it is) is a cuppacino

    driving a modified one was nothing short of an eye opening experience
