I find the 86 to be more than adequate around town. Once the car is up to speed, it feels light on its feet. Add even one passenger though, you will start to notice the lack of torque at lower revs.

The 17s 4.3 FD helps the engine rev up a little quicker due to shorter gearing. Keeping the car around 3000rpm it accelates just fine for mundane traffic situations. When I need more poke, I drop a gear for more revs.

Unless you feel the need to be constantly ripping through traffic this car is more than you need.
