The power-level on the car certainly keeps you out of trouble if you decide to get too agressive and when the rear does step out, its much more forgiving (if you're paying attention and don't overreact) than my old MR-2 turbo or BMW 325ci. Its light, responsive and not to mention elicited a LOT of looks out there!

Great pics. This paragraph is very similar to reviews I've written about the Mazda RX-8. Both cars are best once over 30, and on a good mountain road you're rarely under 30.
I'm going to have an FR-S for a week in mid-October (I do some reviewing), to meet up with my father in his RX-8 for some mountain driving. Very much looking forward to finding out how the two cars compare.
I already know which one gets better gas mileage...
By the way, did you have a portable nav system? I've only been the Dragon once, and got there after dark. Having a nav to know which turns were coming up made it much easier. That and I did my best to stay w/i 10 mph of the posted limit (35, quite disappointed to see that).
