This SPECIFIC example is going to be touting the same Hp as the FRS and I mentioned the GTI because the 2012 variant sports the same Hp as the FRS with over 50ft-lbs and it doesn't measure up.

The FWD examples that compare to the FRS have more grunt than the FRS does, call it a compensating factor for having to fight the laws of physics. This is not me saying FWD cars are bad or "wrong wheel drive", there are quite a few FWD cars I wouldn't mind having but unless this mini-Z is lighter than a Miata it's not going to stand up to the twins.
