Considering a 2013 ZN6 as a relevant modern car is no longer valid. That's like people on Zilvia in 2005 saying their Zenki S14 was new. People were already drifting them into walls and parting them out left and right, just like what is happening today with the ZN6

The ZN8 GR86 is a pretty solid upgrade in the power delivery category. I've driven them and they are plenty fun, they get out of their own way just fine. I don't agree with succumbing to the "Everything needs power GRRRRR" mentality. I hate to generalize but the modern consumer's appreciation for a good car has been oversimplified, or should I say, dumbed down to smoothbrain levels.

Everything non-American or high-end Euro was always low power, prior to the 90's Japan era (see: whopping 276hp)... British roadsters, 510's, Escorts, Corollas, Alfa's, BMW's even... all had huge enthusiast bases and were used heavily in racing. And if you didn't like them, you buy a GTO or an Aston Martin. There's no reason it needs to not be this way.
