I threw my hat into the 1LE camp too, despite being a lifelong small car fanatic. After getting the car on-track last weekend at Gingerman, I'm impressed at the cars capabilities. Looking over in the
Fastest Track Time thread, a modded 86 on Hoosiers setting the NASA TTD lap record was 4.5 seconds slower than my stock 1LE on stock Goodyears, and that was my first time out with the car. Peak lateral g for my 1LE was 1.5g according to my PDR. The pace delta is undeniable.
I hate to admit it but the stereotype of "muscle cars can't turn" just isn't valid anymore. It doesn't change that I still like the 86 twins. They're still fun cars to drive.
