All in all, the FRS-R should be the perfect stock HPDE warrior. I'd take that over the S2000 CR. The only thing an s2000 has over the FR-S(besides power) is a double wishbone suspension.
making compromises in the name of fun is exactly what a sports car is and these arent race cars. i dont know how you can say this car that you havent sat in is going to have any advantage of one of the most visceral modern cars. i hope the frs is going to be a great car but i just dont see it being better than the honda in any capacity other than passenger capacity
