240SX had only just over 50% of the 300ZXTT's power, FR-S has 60% of the 370Z's power, so some improvement there
We also get a torsen lsd (only a very few HICAS S13's came with LSD, and it was viscous)

But the FR-S mechanically is a near verbatim copy of the S13, which is FANTASTIC as far as I'm concerned. And it looks way cooler
I understand spec wise the frs is very alike to a couple cars (Integra Type R comes to mind) but looks I can't see anything in it that reminds me of another car
