Let's compare two videos which were tested by the same company MotorWeek...

As you can see, the modern GR86 is MUCH more stable and secured!!!
Even the below 2020 Corolla Hybrid looks more stable than AE86!!!

Of course, the old AE86 could be faster than the new GR86 but the old AE86 definitely needs a good driver and A LOT OF MODIFICATIONS!!!
