But to answer your question. Its because it hasnt been done. You can all claim to have bought the car because its superior handling characteristics, or because you are "true" 86 fans, but lets face it, very few of the people on this forum would have bought an 86 back in 86 (if you were old enough to do so). You probably bought the car because you liked the way it looked, or because you enjoyed the idea of a fun and relatively inexpensive sports car that finally had great styling. I get it. I however bought the car because it was a new exciting platform to make power. My original intentions were that if I could not make power with the FA20 then I would find a power plant that would. However, so far the turbo has given me the power that I needed. Now I want to see what it can do. So as per my original request, no more lecturing on what this car was "built" for, or how dangerous or silly it is to want to go fast. Deep down everyone on here wants to shut down the Z owners, or the domestic car owners by saying more than just..."lets take it to a race track and see who wins". You guys dont drive on racetracks to work, but you do drive a car that looks fast...might as well have one that is fast as well.
I will respond as I please, you don't make the rules.

In 86 I had an MR2 because of the handling and I wasn't coveting any other car on the road unless it had better handling. Forget what you think people probably bought this car for, I don't think you "get it".

Platform for power? please.........

"Deep down everyone on here" should speak for theirself.

You shouldn't want to drive so fast, it's too dangerous.
