@Tcoat This above

27 HP is a significant update, sad that it gained 7 lbs but in the grand scheme of things, gaining 27HP for 7 lbs increase in weight is not bad at all. And it's still an affordable sports car to boot.

I think if the FT86 was upgraded in the same manner that the ND MX-5 is, it would be a very very sweet ride. Not that it isn't already, but I will admit the Mazda outshines it right now and I suspect purely due to Mazda keeping up with the times while the FT86 is being lazy in updates.
