The twins are amazing drivers' cars for the price. The multi-page list of COTY awards and the lop-sided track comparisons they're routinely throw into (FR-S vs. Cayman S, BRZ vs. [insert Porsche/Lotus/other expensive sports car], etc.) are proof of that. I haven't seen a giant-slayer like this car in a long time, maybe ever.
Do you know what a giant slayer is in the car world? I don't think you do. It's when a a cheaper car in the class of other overpriced cars simply embarrasses those cars on a track for a lot less money. I have never seen the FRS/BRZ do that yet and as a matter of fact they have lost every time against other cars when it comes to track times. Now if you meant a slayer in "FEEL" then that's a different story. Also the GT-R and Corvette slay much more expensive cars in there class. The Mustang GT 5.0 Sport Pkg matched a E92 M3 on track. The 370Z also plays the same role with the Cayman.
