Most onramps, I'd think the 86 would be fine - I've never had a problem in my Outback, and it's 25hp less and 500lb heavier than an 86 (though that one in your picture does look a bit hairy). This one here in Boulder though can be bad too- when there's a lot of traffic on 36, I've even found my Cayman to be a bit inadequate/frightening. The really fun part is the decreasing radius corner on the onramp just before the merge lane- if you aren't expecting it, it's really easy to end up unable to make the last bit of the corner, and end up in the right lane of traffic immediately rather than in the 75 feet of merge lane. I've seen more than a few cars do that, and I've also seen a couple of accidents here too. It's a really poorly designed ramp. Fortunately, not that many people use it.
