Bang for buck, the mustang is a great platform. Fast in a straight line and can be made to handle for less than an 86 can be made to accelerate. Street racing is dangerous, and 86 drivers need to understand that while they've bought a very fun car to drive, it's only "fast" when measured against some very limited metrics.

As my first post I would like to say that this was not me haha. I have yet to see a BRZ or an FR-S in the wild but I know there are a few here.

Those Cobras sound badass with the proper exhaust. Maybe the BRZ driver just wanted to crack the window and enjoy the V8?

Every modern sports car, barring a few Mustangs, sports some form of IRS. This includes the FRS/BRZ. The IRS Cobra was only criticized for suffering from wheel hop during drag starts, a typical byproduct of IRS. This concerned the typical mustang enthusiast as drag racing is a larger part of that culture, but made the car shine on road racing circuits. Or maybe I missed some sarcasm in your post.

I think you meant to say LRA and not IRS.

You sir are correct. My apologies to the OP

You didn't. Another reply to that comment pointed out, I made an error and should have written LRA not IRS. My error, my apology to the OP

Have you been on any car forum lately besides this one? I honestly can't stand reading more than a handful of posts. They always hate their "fellow" members and use such rude words. That's why I love ft86club
