370z wasn't just beating the twins, it was beating the 350z, the NC Miata and the RX-8 all popular autocross cars. It unbalanced what was a nice competitive class. There's no reason the 370 couldn't be competitive in BS, but there are multiple other affordable, proven cars that are the easy button.
The thing that really killed the 370 in solo was the STR classification that also restricts tire/wheel size to narrower than the stock sport optioned car. NOBODY wants to go into a more prepared class and have to downsize on tire/wheel width.
The difference here is that DS is practically non-existent. Reg numbers have been dwindling locally and the class is practically non-existent at national events, injecting the BRZ and FRS will more than likely give new life to the class, while the ND Miata keeps CS fairly well subscribed.
