Eh.... Aren't mustangs known for fish-tailing since it has something to do with the rear axle? I'm not knowledgeable in automotives and I'm not a race car driver so I wouldn't be that experienced lol. Irresponsible kids who don't know when to say "i'm not that skilled" kill themselves because of mustangs.

1. What's your driving style?
IF you plan on staying on the street/highways and going fast in a straight line and/or occasionally need to take passengers, the Ford might be better suited to you. IF you plan on going to the track and spending a lot of time driving by yourself, then the 86 would be a better choice.
2. What is your driving preference?
IF you like darting in and out of traffic and do a lot of city driving, then get the Ford. In a motorsports environment the Fords brake activated torque vectoring and FWD could be an issue, so get the 86. IF you prefer your steering to have maximum feedback, FWD won't do the trick and you need a RWD chassis. Etc etc...
To me, that's what it mostly comes down to.
1. I definitely drive more by myself, and I more on the highways but I would love to try the track one day!

2. Hmmm okay, I've never driven a RWD car so that would be interesting to have with the BRZ.
