I really don't want this thread to devolve into typical FWD versus RWD BS. It has enough problems already w/ Mr. Miata.

i cant say for a fact that the frs is better than those cars because i dont have sufficient data to make the claim. if i was a betting man, my money would be the car that was designed with a decade more technology and data. the fact that the lotus isnt the mrs proves that there is significantly more going on that the spectrum of "physics" you are understanding. build materials, structural rigidity, inherent suspension design, the ability to fit rubber under the wells, a fixed roof, and better aero are all things in favor of the frs. im not invalidating what you say, im just saying that its not nearly everything to be said and your conclusions arent really based on enough data to be anything more than suggestive.
