Oh wait! Honda already did that with the S2000.

The S2000 is 50/50 weight distribution. 240hp. 9000 rpm redline. 2800lbs.

Specs are very competitive with the BRZ.

But remember.. This is a OLD car. The BRZ is a new car.

Honda did a great job with the S2000 and the Integra Type R.

New cars still aren't as quick and fun to drive as the original ITR. And that thing is from the year 2000. New cars just aren't the same. The BRZ and FRS is looking to change that. It's a good direction for automakers but the BRZ and FRS still isn't as good as some old classics.
Well guess what? Safety and emissions regulations change and get tighter. Otherwise, don't you think Honda would've made the DC5 just like the DC2?

AS was mentioned a million times before, the Zx6 is supposed to be a more livable car. Fixed roof, back seat. I doubt that the suspension is stiffer than the S2k.
