But then it also comes down to FWD vs RWD. I also never imagined the RSX, type S or not, to be that spectacular in the handling attributes nor have a amazingly low CG like the FT86.

I think the RSX Type S is a pretty solid entry level sports car, but when you add everything up FT86 > RSX Type S in every way.
i wouldnt call the cog amazingly low. more like pretty low. its not anything to bother mentioning. i would assume that the frs is going to be better than the rsx but i havent driven one yet
