So there's no trade off here. You can have a better handling car with substantially MORE power all around which will greatly benefit the "fun" of the car off and especially ON the track.

But some people bought the "light as possible > anything else" hook, line, and sinker. 3,000-4,000lb cars can, and will, out perform this car on closed tracks as long as their suspension has equal effort put into them. Power isn't a "fun killer", it can in fact, and I know it's hard for some to understand this, make the car MORE fun.
So you dont like the frs/brz? Why are you here then? This car is not about numbers or being faster than other cars... Its about fun.. And it is very fun to drive
