Best Motoring Kouki 86 vs Fiat vs Miata
Fun little video.
Max owns an 86 and Keichi Tsuchiya loves his 86's so who knows how biased this is. Anyone understand Japanese? [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJGTfrwNrkA[/ame] |

I wonder if you can code the USDM cars to blink under hard braking.

Evo magazine came to the same conclusion so not surprised at all to see this result.

Looks like that's from 2017. I wonder what they'd think of the MX5 with the updated powertrain. That extra power and RPM supposedly did the car good.

Evo magazine had the updated mx5. Still gave it to the 86, even though they had the european version with the old style intake manifold and 197 hp instead of 205

Amazon Prime has some Hot Version clips available. If you turn on the Closed Captioning you get a rough English translation.

The ND feels more solid, has a better interior, and is very close in acceleration. Some engine mods or the ND2 engine make it a very clear winner. The downsides are poor aero and a cramped cabin, but the driving experience wins hands down. |

I can't believe a standard miata gets 0-60 a full second faster.
As an extra car it was great but I have to say the brzs lack of torque after this many years has gotten to me. |

It's more like 1/2 a second, but yeah if you wanted torque, the BRZ is the wrong car for sure.
