Here we go. I feel like Randy Marsh at Stan's baseball games. My Miata is 700lbs lighter than the FR-S and easily swallows an LS3 480hp V8 under the hood when I have the cash for it. Also, Miata has double wishbone up front, FR-S uses MacPherson struts.
Don't talk shit about Miatas, because it makes haters look stupid. Put 2 350lb people in your car when you get a chance and drive around for a bit. Then let them out and drive around. Bet you'll notice 700lbs.
I like the FR-S, I'm happy Toyota hasn't completely lost its soul, but I'd rather spend $25k on a V8 swap with all-new parts everywhere. I'll get an 86 in about 5 years, and I'll be happier than a pig in shit that the manuals will be a good $2,000+ cheaper than the autos.
