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.
If they got the interior and options right, I'd be happy with RX-8 performance for around 23k. That's reasonable. The renesis is not a cheap engine and the RX did have more HP.

I think your times for the RX-8 are just slightly optimistic though. Most tests I've seen had it in the low 6's for 0-60 and barely cracking into the 14s in the 1/4. Basically the same as the GTI, actually.
