The problem with the twins is it's torque to weight ratio. The car is too heavy for its torque output. The miata 2.0 makes less power but the same amount of torque and works so much better for that car because of a much better torque to weight ratio.

The problem with the 86 is it *has* to be reved out in order to accelerate even moderately quickly. I like being able to rev the motor out but it takes away from the enjoyment if it is the only option.
