Basically the 'Ring is a looped, timed section of 'real' highway with some distinctly un-track like and highly varied road sections. So testing on here allows for good evaluation of real-world at-the-limit performance characteristics in a repeatable environment. At least that's what I hope their doing.
As for your buddy's MR-2/S, what was dull about it (2ZZGE 6M swap?)? I'm looking for an entertaining, comfortable, efficient daily driver. For pure 'character' my Supra will dominate the FR-S, so that's not my top priority. It's raw, rough and fast.

good points but im still think we give a little too much weight in the ring. to each his own. i cant put my finger on what made the mr2 dull. i didnt drive it much but the clutch and shifter kept me out of rhythm and it felt heavy. maybe a better suspenion choice would have done the trick. not as telepathic as the miata. maybe its too planted and not as lively as id like. the power was nice though, while not crushing it seemed to put that car exactly where it should have been from the factory. above average but not the best. make for a hell of a daily driver though. if you want to know more about it let me know
