ymmv. if i lived back home in the mountains i'd probably be happier with less power. down here on 'the grid', power is your only available form of entertainment when daily driving.
Sounds like the FR-S is the wrong car for the job. A Camaro or Mustang would make you happier in the traffic light race.
