And if you think it's wrong that a big SUV is beating your car around the track, I suppose the X5M will blow your mind since it is faster than everything you listed.

I agree.
The original AE86 was also not designed to be a performance car. In fact if you actually look, the full designator of the AE86 or newer AE's has always been:
Corolla Levin
Sprinter Trueno
This car is not about performance, it was designed for fun, it just so happens that it has an excellent chassis for performance, but if you look at the stock 86, there is nothing special about it.
You should be happy with the stock lap time, that tells you that a car that wasn't designed for performance is still faster than a Golf GTI, so if you care for performance, its an excellent starting point for modifications to make a properly fast car.
