what you have done is just picked a point on a slippery slope and assumed its the best idea. if cog, cost, balance and weight are your concerns than why are you on an frs forum? get a miata since they have a lower cog, price, and curb weight all while having a much better balance.
if speed on a road course was about momentum, the frs would have destroyed the v6 mustang at streets (a pretty small technical track) but it didnt

You keep saying Miatas have a lower COG, yet there is no evidence for this besides people trying to calculate it out on forums. As for the rest of your post and others, it just seems like everyone here is trying to justify their purchase using knowledge gained from top gear or the internets as opposed to just enjoying their cars.
If someone wanted to purchase a used Miata for a cheap fun track car, then they probably would have done it.
If someone wanted a 370Z for a good V6 FR setup, then they probably would have done it.
Obviously the people here who bought BRZ's or FRS did so because it made sense to them. Its a great small, light, economical, sports car with more utility than its convertible cousins.
Now Im sure this thread will go on for another 50 pages with the same strawman arguments about why various cars are, or are not, better than the GT86/BRZ/FRS...
