Well put. I have a '13 with a cat back exhaust. I love that car even though it will be sold. And you are correct about its characteristics. I preferred my FRS to my Elise both on road and track. No bs. They're just more playful. Pretty raw, still. Had an S2K. Still prefer the FRS. Better steering feel. Stiffer chassis, less sensitive to inputs. And again and most importantly, more playful. Easier and likes to slide. When I read the new car would have 228 hp and 184 ft/lbs of torque, that was cool but was more excited about the torsional rigidity increases. That would give better feel than what i thought would be an FA20's brand of 228 hp and 184. So it definitely wasn't going to feel like 228/184. That's exactly what I thought, right or wrong. And I was wrong. It's the real kind of 228/184 and it's everywhere. Even at the top while having that nice midrange. Not hating on the FRS. I have one ffs but there's a very clear advantage in the new car which simply makes it more fun and that new FA24 is a big part of it. And that's what these cars are all about. Imo, anyways. I also apologize for trolling the first gen earlier. I feel bad. I still love them lol.
