FRS is it's own car with nothing to be based on going up against miata's and introductory hyundais (and if Toyota would have you believe, caymans LOL)
i'll buy the cayman comparison

lateral grip is primarily a function of width, cg, weight and roll center

if all else being equal (ie, tires), then if the FRS's center of gravity is indeed low, and its suspension design properly utilizes that, then i see no reason why an FRS would not corner just as, if not faster, than a cayman.

obviously the interior and feel are TOOTTALLYYY different, but thats why this is a poormans porsche
