Performance can mean different things. People are too focused on these cars straight line performance. Just get a Mustang if that's your priority. My '13 has a few goodies on it and I run in the 1:40's at Laguna. This weekend I was getting pointby's by 911's, BMW's and a C8 and I'm an 8\10 driver so there's more on the table, (gotta drive it home). I'm guessing the new 86 stock will be about the same performance as I have with the tune and header I did.

These cars need to be bought for their other attributes and not as a stoplight warrior. A well sorted Gen 1 is a great car and I'm guessing a well sorted Gen 2 will just be that much better.
