Rivera is running a great class for this car, and I would imagine that running the next step up would be a great class as well.

That's more what I'm talking about... not necessarily the GT class. My bad, I should've been more specific.
As cool as it would be to see the 86 running with the BIG big-boys, I'm thinking we should at least be able to challenge the top of the TC class. Rivera gained on, and may have passed IIRC, some of the stragglers from the TC class as is.
Also, I know this car isn't made to run against the big boys on the drag strip, but it absolutely should be able to hang on the track. Isn't that the entire premise of this car? An affordable, track-ready car after a few minor mods... I'm not talking about the GTRs, McLarens, high-end Porsches and Audis. However, I do think it has to be feasible to put enough reliable power in an 86 to challenge the American muscle that handle like boats on the track.
Just my opinions and personal dreams for this platform... you can only smoke so many civics and kia fortes before you want to establish yourself as a true competitor in the sports car world.
