Don't do it. This discussion has been talked about before, and the feelings were the same. I came to this realization in less than a week of ownership. I have had my 86 for nearly 4 years now so I worked out a deal where I got it back and now my baby is sitting in my driveway where she belongs.
That's my advice. All of the power and new luxury stuff Ford puts in those cars, it won't give you the fun you desire in your 86.
Speaking of....is there anyone within a 100 mile radius of me that owns an 86 and wants to do some driving? I live in 28080. Let me know, I could use an 86 buddy.
