If the 86 had come with any one of Toyota's inline 4's offered today, the 0-60s would be much better. Only problem would be that would have ruined the intent of the car as much as it would ruin its CG.

It is still a fault of the car :p Like I said the same car with a different transmission should not have that big of a difference. Autos in other cars ie the miata the difference is barely any.

This is regardless of standstill or no.
