   @Dylan I have enjoyed the hell out of mine. Driving a slow car enthusiastically is fun every time I go out. I don't feel that it needs any more power.

     The 86 has a sticker on the passenger-side window that says “my car's slow.”

     I get it. It's a naturally-aspirated four-banger and won't be walking past Bimmers & Porsches, but come on. That's not what this car was ever supposed to be — it doesn't have a billion HP/torque.

     I feel like the Overton Window of what's considered to be fast or slow is silly at this point. The 86 is not a 🤓sLoW🤓 car IMO.

     It's what you're used to, to some extent. I'd bet the average driver isn't used to a billion HP.
