Assuming you haven't driven a JDM Honda K20A or a slightly tuned F20C1? Now that thing is what you call NA power. Power band is amazing for a 2L NA.
Not saying that the FA20 is terrible, there are just faster and more advanced NA engines out there. They focused more on lowering the COG instead of building a tradtional motor. I'd almost be happier having a slightly higher center of gravity and Yamaha built high revving modern 3SGE Beams or something like a F22.
I have no regrets buying a FR-S. I'm boosted and can give many cars a run for it's money

Considering their market, it took balls for them to tune it the way they did.
