How exactly is door to door racing going to make this a better car for the 99% of owners who don't race?
The driving experience of the FRS, in my mind, is contrived. I suspect that it actually FEELS better than it can ultimately deliver. It was not meant to be a racecar, it was meant to flatter our driving senses on a daily driver basis. Is this really such a bad thing?
Are there fatal flaws that would prevent the FRS from becoming a good racecar? Not sure; I do suspect that a lot of the drivetrain is designed to perform as expected, but not much more.
I believe that there a lots of other cars approach htis from the other direction: They come out of the factory with more of a "racecar tamed for the street" approach to the market that would be a better starting point if you want to be on the track. But I don't think they would make as engaing a DD as the Twins.
