Agreed, but the OEM dampers on the FR-S/BRZ are definitely not severely over or under damped.

Maybe I should have said that I am not a good enough driver to know if I think the overall car is slightly underdamped or slightly overdamped.

As for playing with the damping to make the car behave the way you want at corner entry or exit, I can definitely feel that. That however gets back into the realm of whether or not adjustibility is actually a good thing in dampers or if they should be set for a natural frequency.
