[RichardsFRS]

Some of that may be lack of skills but a lot of it is true to this car. Its clutch point is high, so forget feathering around in the city in first in traffic. Also, yes its torquey on the bottom in first, so leave your self a half a car if you can't control that. You don't want to jump into someones rear bumper. You can drive in second and just get your revs up to that gear when you start off, but that gets anoying. This car is a go car. You let out the clutch it goes, it doesn't sleep and its clutch is quick. I wouldn't think the miata is much different. I'd like to drive one to see

Guess you should have put more thought into the miata before jumping over to the FRS. From what I read, the FRS is a much better performing car. And from what you said of the miata; it doesn't have the characteristics of being a quick to go car. But like i said Id have to drive it
