I completely agree. Compared to my SS, I feel every single mph in the FRS. I love it though! It's exactly what you said... I am so much more connected with the road. (and the SS is a pretty damn good handling beast even at nearly 2 tons.)

Highway cruising at 70mph in a 1000hp GT-R feels like you are literally crawling.

I think this is true, to a point. Very luxurious automobiles exemplify this point perfectly... it's what they do. And, I've never had the pleasure to be in a GT-R on a highway (although 70 is actually slow on our highways). But arn't true sports cars are made to feel the road and thus the speed; it's all about feedback, no?
Also, the twins are also pretty quick to get up there (above the limit), so just layin' into it a little might surprise you when you look back down at the spedo.
