If the Mustang was smaller and more nimble than I would be looking at it, just like you are able to check them out because now you feel they have enough power.
I've been in the Mustang GT and on the race track nonetheless. It puts you in the seat very well. Very impressive from where they use to come from (straight line only). You would be incorrect to state it is simple conclusion based on no experience.
Granted the FR-S is a smiggen closer to a GT than a Miata is, I was simply fishing trying to figure out where you guys draw the line, seeing as how a Miata is the same price also, yet imo...a completely different animal, completely different car and has no attribute that can even be closely compared to a V8 GT.
I don't put every 4banger in the same class as a V6/V8 when they have the same drive wheels and price range like some seem to here. I take into account the power plant.

You know how I knew they were underpowered? I considered and drove them.
And that's all that this boils down to. All I've been saying from the beginning is that people should test drive everything, try it all out, and yes, compare everything. There is nothing wrong with comparing a Dodge Challenger, a Mazda Miata, and a VW GTI. I don't see a point in drawing some arbitrary line in the sand of what is or isn't ok to compare. It is close-minded.
And here you're even saying you've driven a Mustang and made the determination that it wasn't for you. Just because you feel that way, does not imply that other people have to feel the same as you, only because you made your decision.
