Alright, let's make this a fair apples to apples comparison.
We're gonna take a base FRS or BRZ and a base MX-5. Then we're going to put them at the starting line of a track.
Next we're gonna bust out a sawzall and cut the roof off of the FRS/BRZ, tear out the back seat, and then let them have their laps.
Personally I'm hopeful for what Fiat has planned. They've confirmed their variant is going to be a Fiat Spyder 124. A MX-5 with the 1.4 Turbo MultiAir engine that I have in my Abarth would be outstanding.
