The ND is definitley quicker than the FRS/BRZ. The reason? Short gear ratios and TORQUE. This car scales at less than 2300lbs so lightness is also a factor too.
The Miata is basically an FRS with no rear seats, more torque and can go topless in a matter of seconds.
I'm hoping the second generation 86/BRZ has an increase in power. The car needs at least 240hp to make it feel quick(er).

The Miata is awesome, post so pics
Regarding power, i totally agree. 220-240hp NA is a sweet spot for these cars. It would be great if the car came with that much power from the factory instead of having to go stage 2 with cat-less headers and dealing with noise and smell.
I'm personally happy and satisfied with the stage 1 tune, but more is always welcomed
Regarding a 2nd gen I don't think we will get one. I believe sales will keep falling since Toyota & Subaru did nothing to attract new or previous buyers with the refresh.
All the hype is dying down and enthusiasts that wanted one have one.
These are my thoughts anyways...
