4 and 5 arent really important.

1-I call BS on your remark. GL explaining to the cop wth that is when you pop the hood on your ricer. Especially if your LS powered Miata happened to get snagged going over 100mph when you blinked. And yes Corvettes can be that twitchy, let alone a Miata w/ an LS and no electronic or mechanical monitoring or compensation.

Correction C5; points the same.
2-I provided specifics, you are hypothesizing about generalities based on assumptions. Implication is assumption, you are just guessing. Cars are heavier now and more restricted by CAFE and safety standards than before. This hurts performance. Why are most of the cars listed ahead of the 86 in Tsukuba more than 10 years old?
3-We'll agree to disagree, I'll always take a chassis in MR w/ half the weight and less polar intertia and lower CoG over a behemoth chassis built for a 4000lb AWD car that's only more rigid. If the GTR only had 200hp w/ the same weight, I don't think you or anyone else would take a GTR over a FRs or MRS, so I again call BS on your response.
4/5-Was directed at someone else, I think you are a bit off kilter to even be responding to them...
I hate threads like this where people force you to attack or defend two cars which you both own and like against folks that usually own neither. Such as waste of time and energy. I'm off to enjoy my ridiculously slow and inferior MRS and my Ferrari slaying FRS. Enjoy the rest of the thread.
