My point was that if you compare the car in same category and engine displacement you can't find anything much better. It is a well thought platform that's all. Same for racing. You cannot really compete different category cars. It doesn't make sense.
Even the torque dip, that so many are chasing as the "beast", is there in much more expensive offerings. Check here a brochure dyno from the last gen. Cayman:
The only mistake of 86/BRZ was to have a higher torque before the dip and thus the dip is felt more:
But it is a hard decision to lower the torque in the low range revs.

JIM THEO The basic difference before and after the revision was on the exhaust manifold and the mapping. Better equal length design and diameter on the manifold was the reason. Maybe a bit also on the air filter, but you can use an aftermarket one. Catalog difference is 7PS and some were saying it is more and kept it lower to save some tax expenses. Many manufactures are doing this.
