Add in the Fiata's weight and it's faster than the 86 through every corner and pulls just as hard if not harder on exit. Being able to pull a few tenths of a g more won't reverse the deficit.
Every car has what tire they used listed by the way. Civic SI was on 240TW Goodyear Eagle F1's, not sure how good they actually are other than they never come up in street-able track tire discussions so I doubt they're that quick either, but with 235 summer tires and only carrying 150 lbs more than an 86 with some turbo grunt down low it's no wonder it's quick.

The Goodyear Eagle F1s Asymmetric 2s are a max performance summer tire and in the same league as the Ventus V12 and Pilot Sport 3s. They're definitely a step above what the Fiata and BRZ use. Off the top of my head, I think the Camaro SS uses a similar variant (F1 Supercar).
