I know it gets talked about to death, but what would be the American equivalent of the AE86?

Every time we have this discussion it's foxbody mustang.

Foxbody handling is pretty shitty without upgrades, it seems more like the American equivalent of the Nissan S-chassis in that you can make it what you want.
I was thinking along those lines, yeah. Later model Vegas were actually nice cars, especially the Cosworth which also happened to have an i4 engine just like the AE86 that still had higher horsepower than V8s at the time.
The Pinto might be a better choice because there's a fuckton of aftermarket support for the Pinto/Kent engines.

>Foxbody handling is pretty shitty without upgrades It's not shitty, it's just not stellar.
Pretty much the same as the AE86.

Nothing. Americans don't understand "handling". They think "handling" is where you put the automatic gearbox: on the steering column or between front seats And I wouldn't have it any other way.
