No it didn't lol. Literally the BRZ's only real competitor uses an engine with the same displacement (2.0L), it has a better weight distribution (ND Miata is 50/50, GT86 is 53F/47R), is packaged in a dimensionally smaller car, and comes it at nearly 400 lbs lighter.
Car with a longitudinal non-boxer PT has the following:
Balance = Check
Handling = Check
Packaging = Check
So why again did it have to be a boxer?

Turns out words have meaning and it's worth it to read sometimes: "
Many people can forgive an engine for not making loads of power if they have other qualities. The problem is the FA20 has none of the qualities that makes a good "sporty" powertrain."
Literally no one is arguing that power is the end all be all of a good engine.
