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.

Bingo. I purchased this car because when I drove it it reminded me exactly of the E30 M3, and when I caned it on the backroads it was an absolute blast. This isn't a numbers car in any fashion, and that's what I love.
