i think the premise that the ae86 was inferior is off base. by todays standards its trash but at the time, it cost more than a mustang gt. it wasnt a cheap car and it did well performance wise. a 1.6 liter making 110-130 hp while that cheaper mustang was making 210 out of a 5.0 was pretty impressive. i think the philosophy of the two cars is very much in line. i dont know how many people in this thread have actually owned both but i can see the dna.
