The original post was about a 2ZZ Spyder vs a FR-S. You knew that when the discussion started.

They did not really track the CG of cars as a performance stat in 2000 when the Spyder was first released. That became the rage later. I would bet the CG of the MR2 is not much higher than the FR-S. Is that the only significant performance improvement that has been made?

You keep throwing out a FI FR-S handing it to a 2ZZ MR-S. You can FI a MR2 also. There are several supercharged street driven 1ZZ MR2s making over 300WHP. There are at least 3 1ZZ turbo MR2s making over 500WHP. There has been a 2ZZ turbo that made 700WHP. But that is not what this conversation was about.

The OP simply stated that he was now having second thoughts about having picked the FR-S over a 2ZZ MR2 Spyder. Most of us fanbois are simply saying that from a performance standpoint the swapped MR2 Spyder is equal to or better than the FR-S. I have gone further and said that the performance is still pretty equal with bolt ons and tunes.

Yeah, the 2ZZ MR-S is not a factory car. But there are many of them on the street and driven as daily drivers. They are also available to buy and are as close to OEM+ as a swapped car can get.

If you did not think the comparison had any merit then you should have just ignored the thread.
