Your car looks so mint! New even. As for comparing the gt86 I'd say it's a waste of time- older to warrantied, Porsche to Toyota, convert. to not, true mid-engine to fr mid engine, THOROUGHBREED TO NOT, racing heritage to not (much). The 86 is a modern, efficient, rear driver aimed at the youth and the drifting folks. The Porsche isn't. It's a 'high end' product designed with sporting dynamics as it's primary goal and is a luxury purchase that doesn't make sense. I can appreciate both and am a fan and current owner of some Toyota's but have learned (through test driving) that Porsche does some things better. If you really want to settle this drive each other's car, on a nice sunny day! PS - I have driven both.
