Talking Going all out - how does the 86 compare?

Hey!

wanted to know how well a fully modified 86 compares to other cars in terms of handling potential or stock sports cars well above it's league in price. It seems like such a good platform to work on with plenty of options for coilovers, sway bars, bushes, wheels/tires, ect.

Define the following:
1/ Fully modified
2/ handling potential
3/ well above it's price

Your question is ambiguous and answers will be opinion based.
Have you looked here?:
