People. We're all fans of the FRS and BRZ here, but let's not get carried away from reality. The reality is, a cruddy V6 mustang will outperform these cars in stock for stock form in any situation. Drag race, road course, twisties (whatever the hell that means), FRS and BRZ will lose given the same driver skill. These cars just don't have enough power or grip.

Winning races/competition is NOT the point of this car, and is NOT what makes it so special.

Anyone that talks trash about Corvettes and Mustangs will get a nice slice of humble pie if they ever decide to learn how to drive at a real race track. A properly setup mustang is a force, and the Corvette is nearly unstoppable. A carbon edition Z06 will run similar lap times to a 911 GT3 cup car, which is a full-on race car you buy from the factory.

Any here in norcal heard of David Ray, of Hooked on Driving? His mustang will smoke anyone here without breaking a sweat. Yes, people that rev at you at a stoplight are morons. Rip on their idiotic mentality. Not on the car, which is actually more capable than yours.
