This is why I'm worried.


*edit* Dammit PA, you beat me by SECONDS.
A stock s2k only went, depending on year, 5.5 0-60 and 14.2 1/4mile.

So we got:
NC Miata 6.7 15.2
RX-8 5.8 14.4
S2000 5.5 14.2

So guys, being 2012 do you think the FRS should be:
Between the Miata and RX-8
Same as RX-8
Between RX-8 and and s2k?

All these cars handle exceptionally well so I'm are not saying power over handling here.
