Yeah, I guess its all in what you do. If I did auto-X, track days or raced it would be a different story. The Miata used to be lively, now I have to go very fast in turns to get it tail happy. Super...

I put very sticky tires on my Miata, it sucks now.

The 86 is very playful with the Prius tires.

Bigger, wider, stickier, tires probably make it feel way underpowered.

Balance is everything.

Heck, my 3.5 twin turbo Transit work van is just about as fast as my 86 in a straight line.

But in reality the 86 is magic in corners. Amost nothing else compares, it's pure.

I made my 86 feel much faster.

I purchased a Tacoma TRD Pro last week.

278 HP never felt so boring, the 86 is an absolute rocket in comparison.

A 10X10 will be much more manageable. 10X20 catch a lot more air and really take at least two people to set up. In my experience 2 10X10s work better than 1 10x20.

Balance means many things, even if you don't agree. You added 20% to the price of the car, minimum, probably 25% when all done. Perhaps that is OK for you.
