There is a purity about the FRS that is hard to beat.. It's more nimble and forgiving.. Less weight, narrow tires and wheels contribute to a one piece feel about the car that you don't get with fat tires and wide wheels.
While I miss those blasts to 60 and the instant locomotive torque of the LS7..
The FRS makes up for it with its care free handling, nimbleness and it's one piece feel..

I do know what you mean (the Cayman feels pretty darn nimble as well - in many ways, the Cayman on Pilot Super Sports combines a nimble, lightweight feel similar to the BRZ with face-distorting grip in the corners), but there's just something about the Z06 that I would like to have at some point. That having been said, I'm in no rush to get rid of my Cayman anytime soon (it's way too much fun for that) - I'm talking about quite a ways in the future here...
