I bet even a 2CV is fast enough to get you into trouble with the law if you can get it to the top of a canyon road and turn around. Speed limits are frustratingly low.
The 86 isn't a fast car: it's got almost 14lbs/hp. It's about as fast as a 911 SC from the eighties (and even that car has more torque). When you start getting under 10lbs/hp, you're starting to have a quick car. To qualify as a fast car these days, you'll need a lot fewer pounds/hp than that.
I agree that the 86 doesn't "need" more power for street driving, but it could sure make good use of additional power. I'll probably try and nudge mine in the direction of 10lbs/hp at some point. That said, I don't mind the way the car is now: it's nice to have a car where you can use full throttle frequently and you have to work for your pace.
