you could get into those cars, but either 10+years old and/or tons of mileage. probably lots of maintenance costs, reliability issues, less of an aftermarket etc... Not saying they are bad cars or bad options by any means, great if you want a certain level of performance from the factory, but just not a clear cut better decision over a 20k super low mileage 86 with 10k in mods that you can make unique and to your taste and liking. i would be surprised if anyone else in the world had my exact car/setup. So really i am driving a 1 of 1.
