You watch, everyone will be building performance cars with less power, less weight and good handling pretty soon.
Ahead? A Lotus is ahead. Sigh. I said nothing about the machinery, I was talking about the goals of the guys who designed the FR-S/BRZ. The FR-S has the same spirit as those early cars, no shit the hardware is different. Can't help you, sorry.
