That would suck. Two of my favorite concepts in recent years.

Twins could be seeing decreasing sales also because they're refusing to update/upgrade the cars or add more variants.

Sorry I meant 2+2.

I'm surprised nobody has made a car to compete with the FR-S / BRZ directly yet. Did Toyota and Subaru manage to catch everyone that off guard?

I thought you were supposed to use whichever gear was closest to 1:1, since lower gears would provide a mechanical advantage. My Spec V would be done in 4th gear since that is basically 1:1, whereas...

I am, by no means, an expert, but, shouldn't the dyno run be in 5th gear, since it is a 1:1 ratio? Again, that is my understanding of running a dyno, but I have no experience with dynos...

You would lose a lot more in added weight and drive train losses with an auto, than what you would gain in faster shifting. Even if gearing were identical, the manual would still be quicker.

Mazda's Skyactiv wasn't just to improve gas mileage. It was to improve MPGs without sacrificing any of the fun-to-drive (read: zoom zoom) factor.

Street Touring allows as many modifications as you are likely allowed to do under the factory warranty, and you run on street tires...STX is where I am headed with the FRS, anyway.
