There's no math behind the AE86 to convert numbers into fun. Its just how the car is. Damned fun to drive. I honestly can't give any other explanation to it.
I test drove my AE86 one day after spotting it in my old neighborhood and didn't look back. Everything to how it felt on the road, connected, to the 4A-GE, screaming at me to rev it more, etc.....I had to have it. I sold a SUPRA to own this car, and I would do it again.
