The winning factor this car is riding on is the sub 3,000 pound weight limit, 200HP sub 3,000 might be a nice combo at a cheap price.
Rx-8 weighs a tick over 3000 with 232 hp and isn't very fast...but of course the piston engine should be able to deliver more torque. I have a feeling performance of the FT-86 will be very similar to the MX-5.
