I want an FRS that is more or less reliable ( I understand things are bound to break ) But I also want it to have roughly 400-450 horse power. I realize this may seem like an arbitrary number and I suppose I do not have a great reason for justifying it. But I know I don't really need any more than that for how light the car is.

Long story short, a most daily driven vehicle that I can take to the track for some fun. (Yes I know it handles well already at the track, but everyone loves that acceleration)

Thanks for the question!
Thanks for getting back to us.

I'll beat ol @Spuds to a suggestion.

I suggest you first get your 86, get it broke in and then take it for a few spins around a track.

You may be surprised at it capabilities right out of the box.

This will give you a good idea of what it "needs" for you to have more fun driving it. I would suggest, for starters, some different tires for track use.

OK, now we will "release the experts" .......
