I was speeding up to get on the freeway the other day and the FRS is pretty slow (but sounds nice revving up high). It makes sense when I think about it. Imagine being able to floor the pedal through a lot of corners at high RPMs without having to let off the accelerator much. I would imagine that would be extremely fun. Check out "Drift Bible" by Keiichi Tsuchiya when he talks about the AE86 and Miata being fun cars that you can just accelerate into a corner whereas faster and heavier cars have to brake sooner and longer and adjust their throttle. Sure, it's for drifting, I'm sure the application applies elsewhere. Here's the part of the video where he talks about how to drift low power cars. At 1:06, Keiichi even says "I wish Toyota made cars like these again". Boom. FT-86
