Truth is the car IS a little underpowered. Now that Nissan says it they're "mad".
I get it's fun in the corners but you're getting beat by a Sienna mini van off the line lol, in a sports car.

I think people are mad that Nissan had the gall to say it's a mid life crisis car designed for 50 year olds when all they make are overpriced Zs that have lost their soul and nothing Yutaka Katayama envisioned with the 240Z. Toyota goes back to basics with the 86 and in typical Nissan fashion they bash the car (Honda and Toyota always take the high road -Nissan could learn from that). Let's see if Nissan can make an affordable sporty car that can get people excited about them again -judging by the IDx's appearance they're going to have to keep them factories running 24/7 to meet demand <sarcasm off>.
If you want jack rabbit starts get a Mustang/Camaro ($$), if you want fast and higher end get a Porsche/Corvette ($$$) if you want better than that get what your bank account can afford ($$$$). If you want something fun to drive without losing your license or putting you in the poorhouse get a twin/Miata/Si or GTi and live with your decision.
Agreed, the FR-S could stand a little more horsepower but I can't remember ever getting beaten by a Sienna. How come you don't see posts about peers such as Miatas, tCs, Darts, Abarths, Minis, Sis getting beaten by mini vans (except for the Si they're all slower)???
