For reference, there are even a few 86 chassis cars that have had the front suspension converted to double wishbone like the HKS time attack car that set the lap record at Tsukuba last year, all while retaining the FA20.
I'll make it as blunt as possible:

a 1960s Jeep will never handle as well as a 2019 Porsche 911.
