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.

FWIW, after driving an FR-S (finally) tonight, I may be willing to argue that the chassis is better than my S2000. The FA20 left a little bit of excitement to be desired, but the chassis itself was brilliant.
