Take the "you don't get this car, it's about handling" stance all you want.. but that excuse is old.
I kind of feel sorry for the '86, because I have never seen a car with such a strong following.... have so many excuses made for it's short-comings. And so many people desperately trying to save face and prove this car is a hero.
People are really defensive for this car.. But if the car was delivered the way it should have been none of that would be necessary.
I am thinking... next years model with some improvements could be an amazing car.
Give it a lil more power. A nicer interior... Fix the driver right side leg issue, and the dated dash... And the immitation carbon fiber... Give it an arm rest.. And take some notes on the STI exhaust note.... make the FRS/BRZ sound that hot...
It is a fantastic car.. I love it.. but it has a lot of potential to be far better.

Yeah and then it would be 10,000 dollars more. It's common sense that a cheaper car will sell more. I think they want to sell a car that looks good, is cheap, and performs decently. Think Mitsubishi Eclipse. Car sold thousands, even though it's performance was lackluster.
HP would be more money, and I think they are against it being more expensive.
But I do agree with you. If you had 300 hp+ in that car, you're talking about some serious competition. It would probably be better than the Camaro in a racetrack and possibly the quarter and very close to the 370z
