For young teenage kids these cars might be ok. They are really for the kind of kids that are a bit quirky and nerdy. The cooler kids like different things. I have higher hopes for this ft 86. I hope this car isnt going to be aimed at nerdy kids and will be a somewhat serious car. It needs to have around the same performance as a 370z which is a respectable car.

You've driven in straight-lines.
My grandma used to do that back in the 60's with her Thunderbird down Indiana state highways going between the two restaurants she and my grandfather owned.
Big deal. You base everything off how fast a car is in a straight. You talk of teenage kid cars, well, you sound like a teenage moron right now. The rest of us have grown up and realised there's much more to cars than just HP.
This car (FT-86) is being engineered to be a driver's car. A car that attacks corners with balance and immediate response/feedback. Its NOT supposed to a drag car.
For the bolded part: I totally agree! Cooler kids like light-weight, nimble, quick in the corner compact RWD sports cars with a responsive engine! Hmmm, well, guess that doesn't make you cool.
