Are we not allowed to have more than 1 car? Your comment makes no sense. My 350z was a daily driver.

You have to find the middle ground. Seems like the GC will possibly be closer to the fine line than the FR-S when it comes to power/handling combined.

Fortunately enough, that saying goes far enough to raise eyebrows at the track. When you pilot a lower hp vehicle and lighter weight, you spend 90% of your time on the throttle maintain momentum. This can not be said about heavier more powerful vehicles where you will have to utilize braking a lot more. Think of a said corner, go hard at it in a heavy GC, Mustang, Camaro...you will have to slow down to make the turn. Now that same corner could be taken flat out WOT in a Miata. Which scenario do you think will be more fun?
