Yes, true. True. Historically higher HP street cars (big engine and heavy) were ones that couldn't corner, and lower HP (small engine and light) were ones that could. Modern tech has changed that a lot for street cars.

So because of this thread I almost bought this car tonight, but it'd be a downgrade from my wife's current DD so I couldn't justify it, neat car if you're into RWD, 2JZ's, double wishbones, factory LSD's, and hatchbacks. It's a driver, but the owner was very accommodating, wants it to go to an enthusiast.

I can't think of a single reason for not to buy an Ariel Atom, if you can.
This one is a bargain. It only has 1 digit more, wouldn't be so much trouble.. https://www.ebay.com/itm/2016-Ariel-...wAAOSwCN5dnMzo |

If I had space to keep 4 cars I would have bought it as a more comfortable 'beater' DD than my FR-S just because.

id be very surprised if the only reason to buy an 86 over a miata was practicality on this board. definitely a valid reason though. the most valid probably.

I *VERY* specifically DON'T want a ragtop, articulated hardtop, sunroof, moonroof or ANY holes above my head. The stupid hole for the AM/FM radio gives me the willies! (edit: heebie jeebies is a racist meme. I'm ashamed for having used it without thinking.) It's wet, janky and yuk up here all the time and everyone should go somewhere else. There.

If this is the last of its kind, one day when the cars are under 10k I would consider welding a partial roll cage and using a bikini top since that makes it just as light and rigid as a real roof, but I can't do that to a new-ish car. |

I sold my nearly perfect RX8 with 44k miles for $7500, I'd hunt for another one. The 86 is the closest thing I could find to that car, I loved it and should have kept it.
