People, you can like much more powerful cars, or even need them - but this doesn't make the 86 a bad car!

CyberFormula: no bike engines, pls.
Civic Si - 201HP from 2.4 l; nope.
Celica - no longer in production. Was it 158HP from 2l?
S2000, no longer in production
Ferrari 458 - yes
Ferrari 458 - no longer in production
Porsche 911 GT3 (rs) - yes
Porsche carrera s - yes, barely.

In other words, 100HP/l is more or less supercar territory
The previous Civic Si made 197hp from 2.0L (the Type R made 225 from a 2.0L and the Mugen RR made 240 from a 2.0L). The Celica was 180hp (more in Japan) from a 1.8L. Of course they're out of production, but only by a few years.
