What's wrong with comparing to a V6? Cost is cost. Lets turn the tables. Why cant Subaru make a 4 cylinder that makes as much horsepower as the naturally aspirated 4 cylinders of Nissan/Toyota/Honda in the past?
My Toyota 3S-GE made 200hp out of 2 liters. 15 years ago.
Everyone is so defensive of their 200 horsepower.
As for experience... I definitely need more.

So a Rav4 handles as close to an exotic as the FT-86? Because that's what it sounds like you're saying. Close is a relative term. If the BRZ isn't even close then you're pretty much saying that no car that mere mortals can attain is close and they're all equal, which they're not. Each car is purpose built. I get defensive when people miss the purpose of the FT-86. Everyone has plenty of choices for power. Why does the FT-86 have to be everything?
It's perfect at what it was built for and that's the bottom line. Anything beyond that is available aftermarket and subject to one's personal preferences.
Now, if we're saying it was built FOR THE TRACK, then... it fails at that. hahaha But we know it wasn't, it's just "trackable", which... is very subjective.
