Notice my statement at the end of the post you quoted - I pretty much completely agree with you about the GT. As I said, it's basically the fastest car you can get for the money (though I've heard good things about the Camaro 1SS as well - it would probably be fairly competitive too, and I really should test drive one sometime), both in a straight line and around a track. However, the way it delivers that performance isn't as confidence-inspiring as the FR-S/BRZ, and in my opinion, it isn't as enjoyable to drive.
