It's not even that great of a performance car. Seems strange now but I remember driving one when I lived in Japan and I ended up buying a wrx which felt MUCH faster and less loose. Something about those 97 wrxs.
And New Zealand and Australia.

And clearly you aren't familiar with Under Suzuki's Scorch Racing S15, currently one of the all-out fastest production-based cars in the world... and it's not the only s-chassis out there at the top of the pack.

Power-to-weight potential, rear wheel drive, and very good handling when upgraded with quality suspension parts. It's that simple, buddy. That's why the s-chassis cars are so popular.

It really amazes me how many FR-S/BRZ owners there are out there who don't know much about the s-chassis, how good it can really be, and where the inspiration for their own cars actually comes from.
