I'm personally shopping between the 6G stang and FRS atm, waiting for more info/numbers on the new stang.
I did! I just bought the FR-S mainly for a good tuner car and something to mess with. The Mustang had the performance right out of the box, but it just doesn't drive like this car does. I started to notice a change in how I felt about the driving dynamics of a vehicle when I had a B18a1 swapped CRX with a GS-R tranny and the Miata. A shorter geared, lightweight car that you can toss around just started to appear more fun to me.

About the Mustang, I love it. From what I've heard, they're increasing the output of the 5.0 to 450hp, and the car itself has lost a good 2-300 lbs. I've also heard a test mule outperformed the old Boss 302 around a track! Should be very impressive once the numbers are available.
