Description of feel and maybe what car you can compare it to:
Feels like an 86 with a V8 transplant. Thing ive noticed the most is how its changed my driving style. Pre blower i pretty much wrung its neck everywhere without worrying about throttle control, now i have to manage all that sweet torque. The 86 is really a big Go-cart so the impression of speed is magnified.
I traded in a new 6.2ltr Caprice for the 86, and while i would think the V8 might win a drag race it never gave me the goosebumps like the 86 does.

Do yourself a favour and befriend someone in a local 86 Facebook club with a FI 86 that might be happy to take you for a spin.
