I think it does. But not nearly the same thing lol.
The mustang wasn't designed for mountains, while tue AE86 was.
Not saying it was make exactly for what many fans use it for today, Touge and drift. But I'm referring to the geography.
I've said before how cars are often designed to be best in their geography of origin, or at least the market they're directed at.
USDM: Lots of flat land and rolling hills. Cars are basically land boats. Very comfortable, not so good-handling.
JDM: Mountains, lots of 'em. Cars are light and nimble, amd relatively small.
EUDM: This varies because, because Europe has lots of mountains, not much flat land, but certain regions are hilly, like the American south. German amd Italian cars tend to be compact but heavy and robust. French and British cars are light and nimble, Italian cars too.
