Power delivery is what makes the difference. Peak numbers don't. And most people don't like the delivery of the power in the 86s.


Just think, in the "muscle car" world the 2V GTs are considered dogs.


They did mention in this article that the torque dip is alleviated, but on recent dyno plots it shows just as prevalent. Soooo, I'm not sure on that one.
